Hi,
I am not sure if this problem is solved already, however, I recently
implemented a python shell script to retrieve the instance_ids.
conn = boto.ec2.connect_to_region(region, aws_access_key_id=
aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key)
instances=conn.get_only_instances(filters={'tag:tag_name':[tag_value]})
instance_ids = []
for instance in instances:
instance_ids.append(instances[0].id)
print json.dumps(instance_ids)
This script allows you to retrieve the instance_ids even if the instances
have been stopped.
