A quick script to determine AWS Region from IP Address
from ipaddress import ip_network, ip_address
import json
import requests
import sys
def find_aws_region():
ip_json = requests.get('https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json')
#ip_json = json.load(open('ip-ranges.json'))
ip_json = ip_json.json()
prefixes = ip_json['prefixes']
my_ip = ip_address(sys.argv[1])
region = 'Unknown'
for prefix in prefixes:
if my_ip in ip_network(prefix['ip_prefix']):
region = prefix['region']
print(region)
break
return region
if __name__ == "__main__":
find_aws_region()
