I want to get instances with a tag that has a value.
aws ec2 describe-instances --query \
'Reservations[].Instances[? Tags[?Key==`datadog` && Value==`true`] ].Tags'
However I'm not getting my results this way.
If I remove the && Value=='true' I'm getting the instances with datadog = true and datadog = false
What am I missing?
If you want to filter values, it is easier to use --filter than to try and code it into the --query.
From describe-instances — AWS CLI Command Reference:
To describe all instances with a Purpose=test tag
aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:Purpose,Values=test"
So you would use:
aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:datadog,Values=true"
