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]

对于Windows实例:

(wget http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id).Content

or

(ConvertFrom-Json (wget http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document).Content).instanceId

对于。net用户:

string instanceId = new StreamReader(
      HttpWebRequest.Create("http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id")
      .GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
    .ReadToEnd();

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]

对于所有ec2机器，实例id可以在以下文件中找到:

    /var/lib/cloud/data/instance-id

实例id也可以通过如下命令获取:

    ec2metadata --instance-id

在围棋中，你可以使用goamz包。

import (
    "github.com/mitchellh/goamz/aws"
    "log"
)

func getId() (id string) {
    idBytes, err := aws.GetMetaData("instance-id")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error getting instance-id: %v.", err)
    }

    id = string(idBytes)

    return id
}

下面是GetMetaData源代码。
