Class EC2MetadataUtils

java.lang.Object
software.amazon.awssdk.regions.internal.util.EC2MetadataUtils
public final class EC2MetadataUtils extends Object
Utility class for retrieving Amazon EC2 instance metadata.

Note: this is an internal API subject to change. Users of the SDK should not depend on this.

You can use the data to build more generic AMIs that can be modified by configuration files supplied at launch time. For example, if you run web servers for various small businesses, they can all use the same AMI and retrieve their content from the Amazon S3 bucket you specify at launch. To add a new customer at any time, simply create a bucket for the customer, add their content, and launch your AMI.

If SdkSystemSetting.AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED is set to true, EC2 metadata usage will be disabled and SdkClientException will be thrown for any metadata retrieval attempt.

If SdkSystemSetting.AWS_EC2_METADATA_V1_DISABLED or ProfileProperty.EC2_METADATA_V1_DISABLED is set to true, data will only be loaded from EC2 metadata service if a token is successfully retrieved - fallback to load data without a token will be disabled.

  • Method Details

    • getAmiId

      public static String getAmiId()
      Get the AMI ID used to launch the instance.

    • getAmiLaunchIndex

      public static String getAmiLaunchIndex()
      Get the index of this instance in the reservation.

    • getAmiManifestPath

      public static String getAmiManifestPath()
      Get the manifest path of the AMI with which the instance was launched.

    • getAncestorAmiIds

      public static List<String> getAncestorAmiIds()
      Get the list of AMI IDs of any instances that were rebundled to created this AMI. Will only exist if the AMI manifest file contained an ancestor-amis key.

    • getInstanceAction

      public static String getInstanceAction()
      Notifies the instance that it should reboot in preparation for bundling. Valid values: none | shutdown | bundle-pending.

    • getInstanceId

      public static String getInstanceId()
      Get the ID of this instance.

    • getInstanceType

      public static String getInstanceType()
      Get the type of the instance.

    • getLocalHostName

      public static String getLocalHostName()
      Get the local hostname of the instance. In cases where multiple network interfaces are present, this refers to the eth0 device (the device for which device-number is 0).

    • getMacAddress

      public static String getMacAddress()
      Get the MAC address of the instance. In cases where multiple network interfaces are present, this refers to the eth0 device (the device for which device-number is 0).

    • getPrivateIpAddress

      public static String getPrivateIpAddress()
      Get the private IP address of the instance. In cases where multiple network interfaces are present, this refers to the eth0 device (the device for which device-number is 0).

    • getAvailabilityZone

      public static String getAvailabilityZone()
      Get the Availability Zone in which the instance launched.

    • getProductCodes

      public static List<String> getProductCodes()
      Get the list of product codes associated with the instance, if any.

    • getPublicKey

      public static String getPublicKey()
      Get the public key. Only available if supplied at instance launch time.

    • getRamdiskId

      public static String getRamdiskId()
      Get the ID of the RAM disk specified at launch time, if applicable.

    • getReservationId

      public static String getReservationId()
      Get the ID of the reservation.

    • getSecurityGroups

      public static List<String> getSecurityGroups()
      Get the list of names of the security groups applied to the instance.

    • getInstanceSignature

      public static String getInstanceSignature()
      Get the signature of the instance.

    • getEC2InstanceRegion

      public static String getEC2InstanceRegion()
      Returns the current region of this running EC2 instance; or null if it is unable to do so. The method avoids interpreting other parts of the instance info JSON document to minimize potential failure.

      The instance info is only guaranteed to be a JSON document per http://docs .aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html

    • getBlockDeviceMapping

      public static Map<String,String> getBlockDeviceMapping()
      Get the virtual devices associated with the ami, root, ebs, and swap.

    • getNetworkInterfaces

      public static List<EC2MetadataUtils.NetworkInterface> getNetworkInterfaces()
      Get the list of network interfaces on the instance.

    • getUserData

      public static String getUserData()
      Get the metadata sent to the instance

    • getInstanceInfo

      public static EC2MetadataUtils.InstanceInfo getInstanceInfo()
      Retrieve some of the data from http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html as a typed object. This entire class will be removed as part of https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/issues/61, so don't rely on this sticking around. This should not be removed until https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/issues/61 is implemented.
