获取弹性伸缩组实例内部IP

Question

I'm using CloudFormation to bring up a single instance in an autoscaling group (MaxSize: 1)

I would like to know how to access the internal IP of that instance so I can assign it a friendly name with Route 53 in the same template.

If it were just a AWS::EC2::Instance it would be easy but it is defined as an autoscaling group so I don't have access to the "PrivateIP" attribute

Answer 1

From CloudFormation, you can't.

Cloud Formation builds your auto scaling group, but it's scaling group itself that is responsible for creating that instance. In some cases, Cloud Formation will have finished creating the stack prior to the scaling group triggering and completing the creation of the instance.

In order to achieve what you want through CloudFormation, you should add an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to the front. Then register the ELB address with Route 53, and tie that into the scaling group.

Answer 2

I'm facing the same issue, dont think its possible if your instance goes down and a new one comes up as it should using cloudfomration, You would have to run cloudformation update again as the private Ip would've changed

Answer 3

从instnace，您可以获得内部IP地址：
