ec2-public-hostname

node-ec2-public-hostname

Retrieve EC2 public-hostname from instance metadata.

Note: this assumes that a metadata service is available at http://169.254.169.254/. Thus it works on EC2 instances, behavior on other machines is undefined.

Install

    npm install ec2-public-hostname

Example

    var ec2 = require("ec2-public-hostname");

    ec2.getPublicHostname(function (error, hostname) {
    	if (error) {
    		console.log(error);
    	}
        console.log("Instance Public Hostname: ", hostname);
    });
