AWS powershell :Get value of a Tag in ec2 instance

Question

I can fetch the Tag's key-value pair of a instance using powershell.

I have an object, $instance and $instance.Tags yields the following list:

Key                                     Value                                  
---                                     -----                                  
abc                                     cde
mnp                                     mju

How can I retrieve the value of any specific key?

I fetched the instance object($instance) and `$instance.Tags` fetched these two list — Sumit Murari, Apr 02 '15 at 11:15

You can access by filtering on the key:

$instance.Tags | ? { $_.key -eq "mnp" } | select -expand Value

Thanks for answer, I tried it, but it's value didn't yield any data. – Sumit Murari Apr 06 '15 at 03:46
I've done similiar stuff in python , it worked. In powershell I don't know how to do it. – Sumit Murari Apr 06 '15 at 03:54
Verified that this works following the edit made. Based on OP's description, it looks like he is using the Tags property of `Amazon.EC2.Model.Instance`, which is returned by `Get-EC2Instance`. – Anthony Neace May 21 '15 at 23:22
