Filtering AMI by name using aws-cli

  • 772

Is there a way to filter public AMIs that contain a particular string (say abcd)?

The command:

aws ec2 describe-images --filters Name=name,Values=abcd

returns only those AMIs that exactly match Name=abcd

amazon-ec2 aws-cli amazon-ami

    From Listing and Filtering Using the CLI and API:

    You can also use wildcards with the filter values. An asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters, and a question mark (?) matches exactly one character.

    List any RHEL 7.x HVM GA images

    aws ec2 describe-images --filters Name=name,Values=RHEL-7.?_HVM_GA*
