List public IP addresses of EC2 instances

Question

I want to list the public IP addresses of my EC2 instances using Bash, separated by a delimiter (space or a new-line). I tried to pipe the output to jq with aws ec2 describe-instances | jq, but can't seem to isolate just the IP addresses. Can this be done by aws alone, specifying arguments to jq, or something else entirely? Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

Use this in the AWS CLI to get the required outputs: aws ec2 describe-instances \ --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].[PublicIpAddress]" \ --output=text
