Just a simple best-practice for you to know in case you need to get instance related data during automation: 

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/

For example, if you want to use the hostname in your automation, just use the output: 

$ curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/hostname
