How to get arn of EC2 instance in AWS

Question

How do I get the arn of ec2 instance in AWS? I am trying to use resource tag API to add the tags to an EC2 instance. Resource tag API requires arn for all the resources.

How do I get that? Any help will be well appreciated!

Answer 1

You can "build" it yourself:

arn:aws:ec2:<REGION>:<ACCOUNT_ID>:instance/<instance-id>.

For this purpose, I think you can even use * as <REGION> and <ACCOUNT_ID>, and it will work.

To retrieve the <instance_id> you can use the Console or the CLI, or from within the instance itself with ec2metadata --instance-id
