Getting Information About Your Internet Gateways Using AWS CLI

To get information about one or more Internet gateways, use the describe-internet-gateways command following this syntax:

Request sample
$ aws ec2 describe-internet-gateways \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    [--internet-gateway-ids NOT_SPECIFIED] \
    --filters "Name=attachment.state,values=available" \
    --endpoint https://fcu.eu-west-2.outscale.com

This command contains the following attributes that you need to specify:

  • (optional) profile: The named profile you want to use, created when configuring AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

  • (optional) internet-gateway-ids: One or more IDs of Internet gateways.

  • (optional) filters: One or more filters, in the "Name=X,Values=Y" format.

    You can specify several values for a same filter using the "Name=X,Values=Y, Z" format.

    The following filters are available:

    • attachment.state: The current state of the attachment between the Internet gateway and the VPC (only available, if the Internet gateway is attached to a VPC).

    • attachment.vpc-id: The ID of the VPC the Internet gateway is attached to.

    • internet-gateway-id: The ID of the Internet gateway.

    • tag-key: The key of a tag associated with the resource.

    • tag-value: The value of a tag associated with the resource.

    • tag:XXXX: The value of a tag associated with the resource, where XXXX is the key of the tag.

      To filter a tag whose key is XXXX and value is YYYY, you can therefore use either of the following two formats:

      • --filters Name=tag-key,Values=XXXX Name=tag-value,Values=YYYY

      • --filters Name=tag:XXXX,Values=YYYY

  • endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to.

The describe-internet-gateways command returns the following elements:

  • InternetGateways: Information about one or more Internet gateways. This element contains the following information:

    • Tags: One or more tags associated with the Internet gateway. This element contains the following information:

      • Value: The value of the tag.

      • Key: The key of the tag.

    • InternetGatewayId: The ID of the Internet gateway.

    • Attachments: Information about the attachment to a VPC. This element contains the following information:

      • State: The state of the attachment (only available, if the Internet gateway is attached to a VPC).

      • VpcId: The ID of the VPC the Internet gateway is attached to.
