A simple script that uses uses the Amazon Web Services Boto3 python module to generate a CSV file of all EC2 Instances.

This script assumes that you have Python3 and Boto3 installed as well as the other modules listed at the top of the script.

It is also assumed that you have the AWS Command Line Interface installed and have run the configure command to configure the AWS CLI for each of the AWS accounts to be inventoried.

Use git clone to download this repository to the system that will run the script.

Next, edit the AWS-account-list.csv to include only the AWS accounts associated with your organization. Use a "Y" in the "In-Audit-Scope" column to indicate whether to include that account in the EC2 Inventory. The fourth column, "Comments-Purpose" is completely optional.

This script iterates through all AWS accounts listed in the AWS-account-list.csv and then iterates through all regions making the DescribeInstances API call each time.

The resulting output will look something like ec2_inventory-2017-11-05.csv.
