Getting startup timestamp of Amazon EC2 instance?

If shelling to uptime or dropping date +%s > /etc/started-at into your bootscript are too platform-dependent for your tastes, you could perform the DescribeInstances SOAP call and pluck out the launchTime field To discover the running machine's instance id, you can (from within the machine) make an http GET such as curl 169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instanc....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
