Very useful

Superb... !

I'm unable to find any details on ec2.instance object type in boto3 docs. Any pointer Thankyou.

This is pretty amazing. I'm forking the hell out of this one.

Thank you !

Thanks for this. Very helpful!

its really amazing .... however its giving only one region data ..... if required for all region then .......please help .

Description is a little misleading... This list information for ALL instances. Should read:
Using Boto 3 to list out AWS EC2 instances information

I only mention this because I'm trying to find how to list the MAC Address of a given Instance with an instance-id and this result showed up in search.

simple fix on line 59 (to avoid crashing on untagged instances):

    if i.tags:
        print("\tTags:")
        for idx, tag in enumerate(i.tags, start=1):
            print("\t- [{0}] Key: {1}\tValue: {2}".format(
                idx,
                colored(tag['Key'], 'cyan'),
                colored(tag['Value'], 'cyan')
            ))

Great Work. Thanks

awesome, is mandatory to fix line 59 error mentioned before
