Enumerating cloud compute resources
- [Instructor] Let's use the Amazon Command Line tool to look at how we enumerate compute resources. We'll use a command called describe resources to enumerate all EC2 instances in the account, and we'll use our default profile. We do this by entering the command, aws ec2 describe-instances, and we have to put the region in, which I'll use ap-southeast-2. We can see that AWS has returned a JSON structure. Let's examine this. First of all, we can see the image ID from which this instance was spawned, and its unique instance ID. When we select our elastic compute platform, we can select different types and sizes of computer. We can see that this instance is a T2 medium EC2 compute resource. Then we have a key name of Kali. That's the name I gave this EC2 instance and I've used the same name for its access keys. We can see there's a group clause. We can group our EC2 instances into categories, such as dev, prod, test…
