SYNOPSIS

• 'accessKeyId' (string) Your access key id for your aws account.
• 'secretAccessKey' (string) Your secret access key for your aws account.

The function returns an array of meta data for the aws instances. Each object in the array have the following properties:

• 'id' (string) Instance id.
• 'type' (string) Instance type, e.g. t2.micro.
• 'ipAddress' (string) The public ip address of the instance.
• 'privateIpAddress' (string) The private ip address of the instance.
• 'tags' (object) Meta data object with key value pairs. These tags and values are administred from the aws console.
• 'online' (boolean) true if the instance is online, otherwise false.

}
var getInstances = require('aws-instances')(opts)
getInstances(function(err, instances) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(instances, null, 2))
})
