Amazon Web Services (AWS) - List Network Interfaces using the AWS CLI


This assumes you have already configured the aws command line tool. If not, check out my article on Getting Started with the AWS CLI.

The aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces command can be used to list each Network Interface in each of your Virtual Private Clouds. 

aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces

 

And here is an example of how to limit the output using the --query option.

aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --query 'NetworkInterfaces[?VpcId==`vpc-123456789abcdefg`]'

 

And here is an example of how to limit the output using the --filters option.

aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters Name=interface-type,Values=network_load_balancer

 

Something like this should be returned.
