Description

This operation allows the user to obtain a copy of the auto-generated Administrator password for an instance running Windows, encrypted using the key-pair specified on instance launch.

A test has been added using the example from the documentation, but with the response updated to reflect the actual time format passed in current usage.

Example usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/mitchellh/goamz/aws"
    "github.com/mitchellh/goamz/ec2"
    "log"
)

func main() {
    auth, err := aws.EnvAuth()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    client := ec2.New(auth, aws.USEast)

    resp, err := client.GetPasswordData("i-7435208e")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    log.Print(fmt.Sprintf("%+v", resp))
}

Example output (password available):

015/03/21 12:42:50 &{RequestId:ae0976ec-bf3e-4f29-8b76-b2909b53b55a InstanceId:i-7435208e Timestamp:2015-03-21 16:39:38 +0000 UTC PasswordData:

}

Example output (password not yet available):

@mitchellh Is this likely to be accepted given the new libs? packer-community/packer-windows-plugins#39 depends on it - I can likely work around this if necessary though.

Hi @mitchellh, is this likely to be merged anytime soon? Looking to follow up on the above PR for Packer Windows Plugins. If not, we'll work on another strategy.

You can now do this with the official AWS SDK:

resp, err := ec2conn.GetPasswordData(&ec2.GetPasswordDataInput{
    InstanceId: aws.String("instanceId"),
})
