Boto3 get EC2 instance's volume

Question

I am trying to get volume-id list of aws instance using boto 3, I am getting sort of collection manager but I don\'t know how to get the data inside.

import          


        

Answer 1

An iterator is returned by ec2.Instance.volumesCollection

You can extract the volume ids with code like this

volume_id_list=[]
for item in instance.volumes.all():
  volume_id_list.append(item.id)

then volume_id_list[0] contains the first disk, volume_id_list[1] the second etc

See https://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/ec2.html#EC2.Instance.volumes
