对于c++(使用cURL):

    #include <curl/curl.h>

    //// cURL to string
    size_t curl_to_str(void *contents, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp) {
        ((std::string*)userp)->append((char*)contents, size * nmemb);
        return size * nmemb;
    };

    //// Read Instance-id 
    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); // Initialize cURL
    CURL *curl; // cURL handler
    CURLcode res_code; // Result
    string response;
    curl = curl_easy_init(); // Initialize handler
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, curl_to_str);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &response);
    res_code = curl_easy_perform(curl); // Perform cURL
    if (res_code != CURLE_OK) { }; // Error
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl); // Cleanup handler
    curl_global_cleanup(); // Cleanup cURL

对于powershell用户:

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id")

你可以试试这个:

#!/bin/bash
aws_instance=$(wget -q -O- http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
aws_region=$(wget -q -O- http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/hostname)
aws_region=${aws_region#*.}
aws_region=${aws_region%%.*}
aws_zone=`ec2-describe-instances $aws_instance --region $aws_region`
aws_zone=`expr match "$aws_zone" ".*\($aws_region[a-z]\)"`

PHP的替代方法:

$instance = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document'),true);
$id = $instance['instanceId'];
print_r($instance);

这将提供大量关于实例的数据，所有数据都很好地打包在一个数组中，没有外部依赖。 因为这是一个从未失败或延迟的请求，所以这样做应该是安全的，否则我将使用curl()

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

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。
