How to find AWS instance Ids in yaml format from command line

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to filter only instance Ids in yaml format. So that I can use these Ids in my Kubernetes configuration file. Can anyone tell me how can I filter in yaml format?

Hi@akhtar,

By default AWS gives output in json format. But you can use --output keyword in your command to filter in yaml format. Yu can use the given examle.

C:\Users\NADIM AKTHAR>aws ec2 describe-instances --query Reservations[*].Instances[*].["InstanceId"] --output yaml
- - - i-06e0d316abeb7fca4
- - - i-0995dbee8a1dd7169

Hope this will help you
