AWS CLI Display Tags

This command lists the EC2 instance id and the tag name using query.

aws ec2 describe-instances \
--query 'Reservations[].Instances[].[InstanceId,Tags[?Key==Name]|[0].Value]' \
--profile tfc \
--region us-east-2 \
--output text

aws ec2 describe-instances \ --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].[InstanceId,Tags[?Key==Name]|[0].Value]' \ --profile tfc \ --region us-east-2 \ --output text

Output:

i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     server-one
i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     server-two
i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     server-three

i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx server-one i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx server-two i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx server-three

|[0].Value insures output is one instance record per line.

About Me

I'm Ulysses, a Cloud Engineer at Cardinal Health based in Columbus, Ohio. I’m a certified AWS Solutions Architect. This website is my way of documenting the things I've learned about the Cloud. When off the grid, I enjoy riding my electric skateboard. I've surfed, snowboarded and played saxophone in the past. I hope you find this site helpful. It's powered by WordPress and hosted in AWS.
