How to find out information about an EC2 instance from AMI id?

问题

This gives me information about all the snapshots I have:

aws ec2 describe-snapshots

From this, I can extract AMI id and find out more about the ami using:

aws ec2 describe-images --image-ids "ami-xxxxxxxx"

My question is, can we relate the ami id and instance that are using that ami id and find more information about it?

回答1:

Run describe-instances with the image-id

aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=image-id,Values=ami-xxxxxxx"

For text output:

aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=image-id,Values=ami-xxxxxxx" --output text
