As you can see in the next image, got atm three instances registered
and would like to have none. If I click in one of them, for instances, this is the only thing I get
so there's not anywhere a button to remove it.
The right term to be applied here is deregister. So, one wants to deregister the on-premises instances.
Using AWS-CLI you can check the current instances that are registered using the following command
aws deploy list-on-premises-instances --region eu-west-2
This gives something like this with the names of the current registered instances
{
"instanceNames": [
"Amazon_Linux_1",
"Amazon_Linux_2",
"codedeploy"
]
}
To do unregister the instance named Amazon_Linux_1 run
aws deploy deregister-on-premises-instance --instance-name Amazon_Linux_1 --region eu-west-2
Note: if you try to run it without the region, you'll get
You must specify a region. You can also configure your region by
running "aws configure".

I really need to know about the stopped time of AWS EC2 instances. I have checked with AWS cloudtrail, but its not easy to find the exact stopped EC2 instance. Is possible to see exact time of stopped EC2 instances by aws-cli commands or any boto3 script?
You can get this info from StateTransitionReason in describe-instances AWS CLI when you search for stopped instances:
aws ec2 describe-instances --filter Name=instance-state-name,Values=stopped --query 'Reservations[].Instances[*].StateTransitionReason' --output text
Example output:
User initiated (2020-12-03 07:16:35 GMT)
AWS Config keeps track of the state of resources as they change over time.
From What Is AWS Config? - AWS Config:
AWS Config provides a detailed view of the configuration of AWS resources in your AWS account. This includes how the resources are related to one another and how they were configured in the past so that you can see how the configurations and relationships change over time.
Thus, you could look back through the configuration history of the Amazon EC2 instance and extract times for when the instance changed to a Stopped state.
Sometimes time is missing from StateTransitionReason, you can use CloudTrail and search for Resource Name = instance ID to find out StopInstance(s) API calls.
By default you can track back 90 days, or indefinitely if you create your own trail.
I have cloud formation template which creates auto-scaling group with desired state 2. I need instances to be attached to existing eips when they get launched. How can I do this?
You need to write a custom user data script that assigns the elastic IP to the instance. You can not do this using CloudFormation templates yet. The AWS CLI to be used is: aws ec2 associate-address. For this, the best practice would be to assign and IAM role with ec2:AssociateAddress permission.
The command will look like this: aws ec2 associate-address --instance-id $INSTANCE_ID --allocation-id $ALLOCATION_ID --allow-reassociation
While the allocation id will need to be hardcoded in the template, you can get the instance id within the instance using the command: curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id. Refer this thread
for more details.
I am creating an aws ec2 instance using this tutorial, and I can't find any information on troubleshooting my issue, or any evidence that anyone else has even experienced this!
I used an IAM user with admin permissions to set up an ec2 instance, and when I run
$> aws ec2 get-console-output --instance-id <my-ec2-id>
a blank line is output, followed by
'Output'
and nothing else!
According to the tutorial, this command would enable me to see the remote RSA fingerprint to verify I'm making the right connection.
I can log into my ec2 instance just fine (though I suppose without the previous step there's no way to be absolutely sure).
Additionally, the IAM user I'm working with is not my CLI's default user, and I set up a profile to handle it. But if I try
$> aws ec2 get-console-output --profile <user-profile> --instance-id <my-ec2-id>
I still get the same results as before. The maddening thing is that I have solved this problem before, but I can't remember how.
Certain AWS CLI operations may not explicitly state if the credentials are invalid or if users are lacking the roles/permissions to access the resources defined. In this case, it is likely due to the Access Credentials being invalid - and you can verify this with a describe-instances or similar command.
In older versions of the CLI (~1.7), in order to easier debug this, you can use the --debug argument, such as:
> aws ec2 get-console-output --instance-id i-<id> --debug
<Errors><Error><Code>InvalidInstanceID.NotFound</Code><Message>The instance ID 'i-e7bffa43' does not exist</Message></Error></Errors>
In newer versions of the CLI (1.9) this particular argument gives a bit more detail in its error:
> aws ec2 get-console-output --instance-id i-<id>
A client error (InvalidInstanceID.NotFound) occurred when calling the GetConsoleOutput operation: The instance ID 'i-<id>' does not exist
I'm trying to create my first data pipeline using the console and the CLI template. The job contains a single activity, a CLIActivity that I want to start an AMI instance. But, the job fails with the error:
Unable to construct an endpoint for ec2 in region None
I'm not sure where to set the region. I have it in the myAWSCLICmd parameter:
aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids ami-xxxxxxx --region us-east-1
But that obviously isn't were it needs setting. Can someone identify what needs to be set and where?
I hardcoded the command I previously had in the myAWSCLICmd parameter and it worked.
I am working on creating a monitor dashboard for monitoring status of ec2 instances.
I am searching for a method to get information (especially instances ID) of newly spawned instances using auto scaling.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks
If you know your instance type then you can use describe-instances command to get details about instances and use query command to get the details what you need (in your case Instance-id)
aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-type,Values=t1.micro" --query 'Reservations[*].{InstanceId:Instances[0].InstanceId}'
## Enter your instance type in the 'Values' field of '--filters' command
I was able to get instance id by using combination of following commands
aws elb describe-load-balancers --load-balancer-name "LoadBalanceID" --region "region" --output text | grep INSTANCES
Using the AWS CLI you can get a list of scaling activities for an auto scaling group.
aws autoscaling describe-scaling-activities --auto-scaling-group-name my-group-name
See AWS CLI
This is the newer Python CLI, so you would need to install that if you have not already done so. It will return a JSON block with all of the scale up and down activities in the group, including the reason an the date and time.
