Hi As mentioned in yout email you are looking for the AWS_IP_ADDRESS key, which is only valid for Amazon Hybrid VMs. This value is obtained through the monitorization process as reported/updated by Amazon.
In general, as boot time of a VM depends on the software stack running wihtin, you cannot rely on the VM status reported by the hypervisors, i.e. RUNNING means that the VM is running at hypervisor level but it can be stuck in the virtual BIOS because of an error or misconfiguration. In our internal testing platform we use two techniques: 1.- Pro-active ping the VM, a simple ping+sleep loop with a timeout. 2.- Make the VM callback home to a known URL (you may use onegate for this) Note that both requires connectivity to some extent between the knife controller and the VM.
