EC2 / Client / describe_instances
describe_instances#
- EC2.Client.describe_instances(**kwargs)#
Describes the specified instances or all instances.
If you specify instance IDs, the output includes information for only the specified instances. If you specify filters, the output includes information for only those instances that meet the filter criteria. If you do not specify instance IDs or filters, the output includes information for all instances, which can affect performance. We recommend that you use pagination to ensure that the operation returns quickly and successfully.
If you specify an instance ID that is not valid, an error is returned. If you specify an instance that you do not own, it is not included in the output.
Recently terminated instances might appear in the returned results. This interval is usually less than one hour.
If you describe instances in the rare case where an Availability Zone is experiencing a service disruption and you specify instance IDs that are in the affected zone, or do not specify any instance IDs at all, the call fails. If you describe instances and specify only instance IDs that are in an unaffected zone, the call works normally.
Warning
We strongly recommend using only paginated requests. Unpaginated requests are susceptible to throttling and timeouts.
Note
The order of the elements in the response, including those within nested structures, might vary. Applications should not assume the elements appear in a particular order.

(dict) –
A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs.
If you specify multiple filters, the filters are joined with an
AND, and the request returns only results that match all of the specified filters.Name (string) –
The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.
Values (list) –
The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive. If you specify multiple values for a filter, the values are joined with an
OR, and the request returns all results that match any of the specified values.(string) –
NextToken (string) – The token returned from a previous paginated request. Pagination continues from the end of the items returned by the previous request.
MaxResults (integer) –
The maximum number of items to return for this request. To get the next page of items, make another request with the token returned in the output. For more information, see Pagination.
You cannot specify this parameter and the instance IDs parameter in the same request.

Response Structure
(dict) –
NextToken (string) –
The token to include in another request to get the next page of items. This value is
nullwhen there are no more items to return.Reservations (list) –
Information about the reservations.
(dict) –
Describes a launch request for one or more instances, and includes owner, requester, and security group information that applies to all instances in the launch request.
ReservationId (string) –
The ID of the reservation.
OwnerId (string) –
The ID of the Amazon Web Services account that owns the reservation.
RequesterId (string) –
The ID of the requester that launched the instances on your behalf (for example, Amazon Web Services Management Console or Auto Scaling).
Groups (list) –
Not supported.
(dict) –
Describes a security group.
GroupId (string) –
The ID of the security group.
GroupName (string) –
The name of the security group.
Instances (list) –
The instances.
(dict) –
Describes an instance.
Architecture (string) –
The architecture of the image.
BlockDeviceMappings (list) –
Any block device mapping entries for the instance.
(dict) –
Describes a block device mapping.
DeviceName (string) –
The device name (for example,
/dev/sdhorxvdh).Ebs (dict) –
Parameters used to automatically set up EBS volumes when the instance is launched.
AttachTime (datetime) –
The time stamp when the attachment initiated.
DeleteOnTermination (boolean) –
Indicates whether the volume is deleted on instance termination.
Status (string) –
The attachment state.
VolumeId (string) –
The ID of the EBS volume.
AssociatedResource (string) –
The ARN of the Amazon ECS or Fargate task to which the volume is attached.
