This container can be run in a cloud environment to attempt to discover metadata about the Cloud Provider from the host.
Right now, only Amazon AWS and Google Cloud are supported. More cloud providers needed. Please send a Pull Request! :)
Run such as:
docker run -it --rm --net=host pinpt/cloud-metadata
NOTE: You’ll need to run the container on the host network to get right information.
Will return information as JSON (if found) and exit with 0 or exit with 1 if no cloud provider could be resolved.
Example output for AWS (the actual output will be compressed on one line for easier parsing):
{"provider":"amazonec2","public_ipaddress":"50.116.21.11","private_ipaddress":"10.0.1.1","hostname": "ec2-50-116-21-11.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com","zone":"us-west-2c","id":"i-9912334","type":"c3.xlarge"}
Example output for Google Cloud Engine (the actual output will be compressed on one line for easier parsing):
{"provider":"gce","hostname":"gce-test1.c.foo-9160.internal","public_ipaddress":"114.197.97.113","private_ipaddress":"11.128.0.2","zone":"us-central1-a","id":"9741257677298391091","type":"n1-standard-1"}
