获取实例元数据使用

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

请参阅这篇文章-注意URL中给出的IP地址是常量(这一开始让我感到困惑)，但返回的数据是特定于您的实例的。

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

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]

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。

            {

如果你想在python中获取所有实例id列表，下面是代码:

import boto3

ec2=boto3.client('ec2')
instance_information = ec2.describe_instances()

for reservation in instance_information['Reservations']:
   for instance in reservation['Instances']:
      print(instance['InstanceId'])
