List ec2 instances with details like – Platform, Lifecycle, Instance Type

While gathering few data from my Instances I came across how can I list my EC2 instances with details as – Lifecycle (Spot/Normal), Platform (Linux/Windows,) Instance Type (c3, m4, m5, r5…. etc).

So ran the following command to get the desired output.

aws ec2 describe-instances –query “Reservations[*].Instances[*].{PublicIP:PublicIpAddress,Type:InstanceType,LifeCycle:InstanceLifecycle,Name:Tags[?Key==’Name’]|[0].Value,Status:State.Name,Platfrom:Platform}” –filters “Name=instance-state-name,Values=running” –output table

Output –

Note:-

For Lifecycle – None means Normal Instance type

For Platform – None means Linux Platform.

Then i google a bit and found that it is because of SE linux setting being set to enforcing.

So i temporarily disable enforcemnt.To Temporarily disable enforcement on a running system use the following command

To permanently disable enforcement during a system startup

change "enforcing" to "disabled" in ''/etc/selinux/config'' and reboot.

Java Error – Error occurred during initialization of VM

While running Java i faced this problem

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

This error occur because java was not able to get enough Virtual Memory as i did ulimit -a on my linux machine and i found that the virtual memory and max memory size is limited on my machine.

so i change this to unlimited by editing limits.conf file which is located in /etc/security/limits.conf and now java is working fine.

ulimit -a before making changes in limits.conf file
