Question : How to find the IP address of an amazon EC2 by using linux command
Ans :
If you run “ifconfig –a” on an amazon ec2 instance (linux), it will give you the internal IP address, which is not accessible from outside world. Here is a way to get the public and private IP address for an amazon EC2 instance.
To obtain the IP addresses, issue the following HTTP queries from within the instance:
To obtain the internal IP address:
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4
To obtain the public IP address:
curl wgetip.com
