Question

How can i get limited infromation from aws-describe command?

aws ec2 describe-instance

this provides a lot of information that is not needed for my work, how can i restrict the information?

Answer 1

You can use this command in your CLI,

aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[*].Instances[*].[Placement.AvailabilityZone, State.Name, InstanceId]' --output text

 This will give you a very limited information about your instance.
