You can simply loop through using a for loop.

Using for loop you can traverse through all the instances.

Here is a simple program that you can use after configuring your IAM using using AWS CLI.

import boto3
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')
for instance in ec2.instances.all():
    print (instance.id , instance.state)

Hope this helps!

this giving for only one region

what if i want to get list of all instances in each zone

how do i do it ????

Hey! You can try something like this:

for region in `aws ec2 describe-regions --output text | cut -f3`
do
     echo -e "\nListing Instances in region:'$region'..."
     aws ec2 describe-instances --region $region
done

Here, it loops through all the regions, printing the ec2 instances that exist in them.

Hey thanks for the response

my senior if the person have only the instance ID or Name of the instance

he should know the status of that  instance irrespective of region it can be from any region.

The following will print the instance status in all the regions.

for region in `aws ec2 describe-regions --output text | cut -f3`
do
     echo -e "\nInstances status in region: '$region'"
     aws ec2 describe-instance-status --include-all-instances
done
