I would like to know if its possible to get the current AWS EC2 Instance ID using AWS SDK PHP.
I know it can be achieved using
@file_get_contents("http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id");
But I dont want to use file_get_contents as it will fail locally(unnecessary http call even when I know it is goint to fail) or if I am using it on a non AWS server.
