Partial bash script for setting prompt to EC2 instance name. Add this to .bashrc
# these make the ec2 commands just work
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=[AWS access key]
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=[AWS secret]
# fetch the instance id
export INSTANCE_ID=$(wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
#grep out the tag you're looking for, in this case "Name"
export APP_TAG=$(ec2-describe-tags | grep $INSTANCE_ID | grep -oE "Name\\W+(.+)$" | grep -oE "\\W.+$")
