AWS Classic v6.2.1 published on Friday, Sep 22, 2023 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

    Use this data source to get IDs or IPs of Amazon EC2 instances to be referenced elsewhere, e.g., to allow easier migration from another management solution or to make it easier for an operator to connect through bastion host(s).

    Note: It’s strongly discouraged to use this data source for querying ephemeral instances (e.g., managed via autoscaling group), as the output may change at any time and you’d need to re-run apply every time an instance comes up or dies.

    Example Usage

using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Pulumi;
using Aws = Pulumi.Aws;

    Using getInstances

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getInstances(args: GetInstancesArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetInstancesResult>
function getInstancesOutput(args: GetInstancesOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetInstancesResult>
    def get_instances(filters: Optional[Sequence[GetInstancesFilter]] = None,
                  instance_state_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None,
                  instance_tags: Optional[Mapping[str, str]] = None,
                  opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetInstancesResult
