Get Instance Lifecycle via AWS CLI

When navigating to the Auto Scaling Groups section of the EC2 Management Console, we can see information about the EC2 instances for each Auto Scaling Groups.

If you take a look at the image below:

How can I get the value of the field highlighted in green (Lifecycle) using the Instance ID via the AWS CLI?

I already tried the following command:

aws ec2 describe-instance-status --instance-ids <some instance ID>

But that does not provide me with the value in that field.

Try to use aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-instances

Usage:

aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-instances --instance-ids i-4ba0837f

Output:

{
    "AutoScalingInstances": [
        {
            "ProtectedFromScaleIn": false,
            "AvailabilityZone": "us-west-2c",
            "InstanceId": "i-4ba0837f",
            "AutoScalingGroupName": "my-auto-scaling-group",
            "HealthStatus": "HEALTHY",
            "LifecycleState": "InService",
            "LaunchConfigurationName": "my-launch-config"
        }
    ]
}

Bonus:

If you wanna get the LifecycleState value as a string, use the following command :

aws autoscaling  describe-auto-scaling-instances --instance-ids INSTANCE_ID --query "AutoScalingInstances[].LifecycleState"  --output text
