Amazon CloudWatch maintains metrics about every Amazon EC2 instance, including CPU Utilization.

By default, metrics are collected at 5-minute intervals at no charge. You can enable detailed monitoring for an instance, which will collect metrics at 1-minute intervals. Additional charges apply.

You can obtain the metrics via a call to Amazon CloudWatch. Use the getMetricData() function.

Note that you actually request a calculated value over a period of time, such as "Average CPU for the previous 5 minutes".
