Use powershell to get instance description and tags

Is there a way of getting instance's description (eg, instance ID, AMI ID, VPC ID....etc) and tags using Powershell?

I tried Get-EC2Instance | select * but it doesn't give all the information I need.

Good starting point would be to store your instances in a variable.

$ec2 = Get-EC2Instance
$ec2.instances

will display all the info you can get.

Same can be done like this

(Get-EC2Instance).Instances

or filter only what you need.

(Get-EC2Instance).Instances | select-object ImageId,InstanceId,VpcId
