How to sort AWS CLI describe-images output using jd
Raw
sorting-aws-cli-describe-images-output.md

As an example query AWS for a list of all NAT Instance AMIs:


aws ec2 describe-images --filter Name="owner-alias",Values="amazon" --filter Name="name",Values="amzn-ami-vpc-nat*" --region us-west-2 | jq '.Images | sort_by(.CreationDate)'

If only specific fields are required to print into output:


aws ec2 describe-images --filter Name="owner-alias",Values="amazon" --filter Name="name",Values="amzn-ami-vpc-nat*" --region us-west-2 | jq '.Images | sort_by(.CreationDate) | .[] | {Name: .Name, Created: .CreationDate, Id: .ImageId}'
