echo "ec2-metadata v0.1.1
Use to retrieve EC2 instance metadata from within a running EC2 instance.
e.g. to retrieve instance id: ec2-metadata -i
to retrieve ami id: ec2-metadata -a
to get help: ec2-metadata --help
For more information on Amazon EC2 instance meta-data, refer to the documentation at
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/2008-05-05/DeveloperGuide/AESDG-chapter-instancedata.html
Usage: ec2-metadata <option>
Options:
--all Show all metadata information for this host (also default).
-a/--ami-id The AMI ID used to launch this instance
-l/--ami-launch-index The index of this instance in the reservation (per AMI).
-m/--ami-manifest-path The manifest path of the AMI with which the instance was launched.
-n/--ancestor-ami-ids The AMI IDs of any instances that were rebundled to create this AMI.
-b/--block-device-mapping Defines native device names to use when exposing virtual devices.
-i/--instance-id The ID of this instance
-t/--instance-type The type of instance to launch. For more information, see Instance Types.
-h/--local-hostname The local hostname of the instance.
-o/--local-ipv4 Public IP address if launched with direct addressing; private IP address if launched with public addressing.
-k/--kernel-id The ID of the kernel launched with this instance, if applicable.
-z/--availability-zone The availability zone in which the instance launched. Same as placement
-c/--product-codes Product codes associated with this instance.
-p/--public-hostname The public hostname of the instance.
-v/--public-ipv4 NATted public IP Address
-u/--public-keys Public keys. Only available if supplied at instance launch time
-r/--ramdisk-id The ID of the RAM disk launched with this instance, if applicable.
-e/--reservation-id ID of the reservation.
-s/--security-groups Names of the security groups the instance is launched in. Only available if supplied at instance launch time
-d/--user-data User-supplied data.Only available if supplied at instance launch time."
