Detect Amazon VM (Windows)
Is there any way to programmatically detect that my C/C++ Windows application is running on an Amazon Cloud server? E.g., any APIs, WScripts, or environment variables? Thanks.

Make a HTTP GET against http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ on the instance.
On EC2(windows or *nix), you will receive information about the instance
See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AESDG-chapter-instancedata.html
