As many of you know AWS have Auto-Assigned "Public" IP's and Elastic IP's for the instances, I can get the Elastic IP's via cli with the describe-addresses command: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ec2/describe-addresses.html

Example: 

aws ec2 describe-addresses --filters "Name=instance-id,Values=InstanceWithEIP_id" --output=json

And it returns the EIP but I want to know how can I get the Auto-Assigned IP via cli because the command with a instance-id from a non elastic-ip instance returns nothing.

Thanks

You can use the aws describe-instances command instead, like so:

aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-id,Values=i-56b4192a" --output=json | jq -r '.Reservations[].Instances[].NetworkInterfaces[].Association.PublicIp'

  • Hi, thanks for your reply, as I told in the answer the command describe-addresses return nothing because the instance that I want to filter does not have an Elastic IP, instead it have an Auto-Assigned Public IP. – Nic Aug 22 '18 at 17:47
  • Sorry, just edited my answer. – Itai Ganot Aug 22 '18 at 17:57
  • as I'm working on Windows I have to delete the ' symbols: aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-id,Values=xxxxxxxxx" --output=json | jq -r .Reservations[].Instances[].NetworkInterfaces[].Association.PublicIp and It worked. Thanks a lot – Nic Aug 22 '18 at 18:00
