获取使用ec2api工具新启动的实例的ID

好吧,至少这样的方法应该行得通:

instance_id=$(ec2-run-instances ami-dd8ea5a9 [...] | awk '/INSTANCE/{print $2}') 

诚然,我有点懒散,认为这样问比重新学习一些AWK基础知识更快…:-)

:简化了AWK的用法,如Dennis建议的那样。另外,使用 $()

作为替代 ec2-run-instances ,您可以创建一个ec2实例,并通过awscli一行获取InstanceId run-instances :

export MyServerID=$(aws ec2 run-instances --image-id AMI --count 1 --instance-type t2.micro --key-name "my_ssh_key" --security-group-ids sg-xxx --subnet-id subnet-yyy --query 'Instances[0].InstanceId' --output text)

无需使用awk:

# create the instance and capture the instance id
echo "Launching instance..."
instanceid=$(ec2-run-instances --key $pemkeypair --availability-zone $avzone $ami | egrep ^INSTANCE | cut -f2)
if [ -z "$instanceid" ]; then
    echo "ERROR: could not create instance";
    exit;
else
    echo "Launched with instanceid=$instanceid"
fi
