How to check the Java architecture from command line ?

August 30, 2017 Leave a comment

To check the Java architecture whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit, the following commands will be helpful.

Execute the following commands in the command line and check the results

java -d32 -version

java -d64 -version

If any of the above command is giving an error message similar to “Error: This Java instance does not support a xx-bit JVM.” If it is not supporting 32 bit, then we can say it is a 64 bit Java. If it is not supporting 64 bit, we can say it is a 32-bit Java. The screenshot of the same is attached below.

Hope this will help .. 🙂

Get public and private IP address of an EC2 instance from the command line

July 24, 2017 Leave a comment

Sometimes we may get requirements to identify the public ip address of an ec2 instance from the command line. There are various ways to perform this operation.

  1. Using AWS CLI
  2. Using a simple REST call
aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids  --query 'Reservations[*].Instances[*].PublicIpAddress' --output text

If we are on the same EC2 host, we can obtain the details of the EC2 instance using the instance metadata service.

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


ami-id
ami-launch-index
ami-manifest-path
block-device-mapping/
hostname
iam/
instance-action
instance-id
instance-type
local-hostname
local-ipv4
mac
metrics/
network/
placement/
profile
public-hostname
public-ipv4
public-keys/
reservation-id
security-groups
services/

Using this, for getting the private IP, the command will be

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4

For getting the public IP, the command will be

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4
