Python Script to return all instances in all regions
legolasthehansy asked on
I'm trying to get all running instances in all regions to shut them down off hours and this is the script I use. However, I get a Syntax error: return outside function. It maybe a indentation problem which I'm not able find out. Can you help?
import boto3
import logging
client = boto3.client('ec2')
instances = []
for region in client.describe_regions()['Regions']:
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2', region_name=region['RegionName'])
result = ec2.instances.filter(Filters=[{'Name': 'instance-state-name', 'Values': ['running']}])
for instance in result:
instances.append(instance.id)
return instances
print instances
