Ruby:

require 'rubygems'
require 'aws-sdk'
require 'net/http'

metadata_endpoint = 'http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/'
instance_id = Net::HTTP.get( URI.parse( metadata_endpoint + 'instance-id' ) )

ec2 = AWS::EC2.new()
instance = ec2.instances[instance_id]

在Amazon Linux ami上，你可以做:

$ ec2-metadata -i
instance-id: i-1234567890abcdef0

或者，在Ubuntu和其他一些linux版本上，ec2metadata——instance-id(这个命令可能不会在Ubuntu上默认安装，但你可以用sudo apt-get install cloud-utils添加它)

顾名思义，您也可以使用该命令获取其他有用的元数据。

获取实例元数据使用

wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id

我从http api为EC2元数据编写的c# .net类。 我将根据需要构建它的功能。如果你喜欢，你可以用它。

我写了一个FUSE文件系统来提供对EC2元数据服务的访问:https://github.com/xdgc/ec2mdfs。 我在所有自定义ami上运行这个;它允许我使用这个习语:cat /ec2/meta-data/ami-id

您可以通过传递元数据参数发出HTTP请求来获取任何元数据。

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id

or

wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id

您不会为获取元数据和用户数据的HTTP请求收费。

Else

您可以使用EC2实例元数据查询工具，这是一个简单的bash脚本，它使用curl从文档中提到的正在运行的EC2实例中查询EC2实例元数据。

下载工具:

$ wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2metadata/ec2-metadata

现在运行命令获取所需的数据。

$ec2metadata -i
