To describe the status of an instance
The following
describe-instance-status
example describes the current status of the specified instance.aws ec2 describe-instance-status \ --instance-ids
i-1234567890abcdef0
Output:
{ "InstanceStatuses": [ { "InstanceId": "i-1234567890abcdef0", "InstanceState": { "Code": 16, "Name": "running" }, "AvailabilityZone": "us-east-1d", "SystemStatus": { "Status": "ok", "Details": [ { "Status": "passed", "Name": "reachability" } ] }, "InstanceStatus": { "Status": "ok", "Details": [ { "Status": "passed", "Name": "reachability" } ] } } ] }

Example 1: This example describes the status of the specified instance.
Get-EC2InstanceStatus -InstanceId i-12345678
Output:
AvailabilityZone : us-west-2a Events : {} InstanceId : i-12345678 InstanceState : Amazon.EC2.Model.InstanceState Status : Amazon.EC2.Model.InstanceStatusSummary SystemStatus : Amazon.EC2.Model.InstanceStatusSummary
$status = Get-EC2InstanceStatus -InstanceId i-12345678 $status.InstanceState
Output:
Code Name ---- ---- 16 running
$status.Status
Output:
Details Status ------- ------ {reachability} ok
$status.SystemStatus
Output:
Details Status ------- ------ {reachability} ok
