Obtaining tags from AWS instances with boto

Question

I\'m trying to obtain tags from instances in my AWS account using Python\'s boto library.

While this snippet works correctly bringing all tags:

    t         


        

Answer 1

Try something like this:

import boto.ec2

conn = boto.ec2.connect_to_region('us-west-2')
# Find a specific instance, returns a list of Reservation objects
reservations = conn.get_all_instances(instance_ids=['i-xxxxxxxx'])
# Find the Instance object inside the reservation
instance = reservations[0].instances[0]
print(instance.tags)

You should see all tags associated with instance i-xxxxxxxx printed out.
