EC2::Host about aws-list-resources

[michael-kirchner-at]

Thank you for bringing this up! Are you looking for EC2 instances maybe? "AWS::EC2::Host" and "AWS::EC2::Instance" are two different things unfortunately... "Host" is a dedicated physical machine, while "Instance" are virtual machines. The AWS Cloud Control API unfortunately does not support "AWS::EC2::Instance" at the moment:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudcontrolapi/latest/userguide/supported-resources.html

I see that CloudFormation does support it though, so I'd be hoping that it's only a matter of time that the Cloud Control API will support it too:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ec2-instance.html

If you are looking to discover whether EC2 instances are present, there should be some workarounds though: aws-list-resources will find resource types that can give you a hint that EC2 instances are likely present: "AWS::EC2::Volume", "AWS::EC2::NetworkInterface", "AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile", "AWS::EC2::KeyPair" and "AWS::EC2::EIP". And if the account does not use the default VPC but spun up their own virtual network, there will also be additional resources for: "AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl", "AWS::EC2::RouteTable", "AWS::EC2::Subnet", "AWS::EC2::InternetGateway", etc.
