'How can I list all resources that belongs to a certain VPC?
At my AWS account, I have few VPC. I'm trying to find a way to list all resources that located under a certain VPC.
Thanks!!

You can do it in three ways: AWS CLI, AWS console or code.
AWS CLI
You can use AWS CLI to list all ENIs associated with the VPC and prettify the output using the --query parameter to get a resource list with the desired fields (AZ, instance-id, etc.).
-
`aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters Name=vpc-id,Values=<vpc-id> --query 'NetworkInterfaces[*].[AvailabilityZone, OwnerId, Attachment.InstanceId, PrivateIpAddresses[*].Association.PublicIp]' -
`aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters Name=vpc-id,Values=<vpc-id> --query 'NetworkInterfaces[*].[RequesterId,Description]'A sample of the raw output (only one instance on the VPC):
"NetworkInterfaces": [ { "Association": { "IpOwnerId": "amazon", "PublicDnsName": "ec2-54-196-57-169.compute-1.amazonaws.com", "PublicIp": "54.196.57.169" }, "Attachment": { "AttachTime": "2020-08-24T10:59:16+00:00", "AttachmentId": "eni-attach-047e562690aabbffd", "DeleteOnTermination": true, "DeviceIndex": 0, "InstanceId": "i-0fe495a6c17bd0f82", "InstanceOwnerId": "570398916848", "Status": "attached" }, "AvailabilityZone": "us-east-1d", "Description": "", "Groups": [ { "GroupName": "launch-wizard-1", "GroupId": "sg-0aa7d8257bb487e1b" } ], "InterfaceType": "interface", "Ipv6Addresses": [], "MacAddress": "0e:58:38:33:9a:31", "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-0b20855178d276783", "OwnerId": "570398916848", "PrivateDnsName": "ip-172-31-34-30.ec2.internal", "PrivateIpAddress": "172.31.34.30", "PrivateIpAddresses": [ { "Association": { "IpOwnerId": "amazon", "PublicDnsName": "ec2-54-196-57-169.compute-1.amazonaws.com", "PublicIp": "54.196.57.169" }, "Primary": true, "PrivateDnsName": "ip-172-31-34-30.ec2.internal", "PrivateIpAddress": "172.31.34.30" } ], "RequesterManaged": false, "SourceDestCheck": true, "Status": "in-use", "SubnetId": "subnet-e2bc5fbd", "TagSet": [], "VpcId": "vpc-6ad2e110" } ]
And now filtered:
For the first
--query[ "us-east-1d", "57039816848", "i-0fe495a6c17bd0f82", [ "44.196.57.169" ] ]And for the second
--query(another VPC):[ "amazon-elasticache", "ElastiCache alon-001" ], [ "amazon-elasticache", "ElastiCache alon-002" ], [ "975289786086", "arn:aws:ecs:us-east-2:57039916848:attachment/22a90802-fae7-4afb-9a7e-43e6f4be8ca4" ], [ "074689309192", "Interface for NAT Gateway nat-069344579d8bda20" ], [ "amazon-elb", "ELB app/EC2Co-EcsEl-YX74WCWEGOK/0b6d7bc60b540b1" ], [ "amazon-elb", "ELB app/EC2Co-EcsEl-YX74WCWGGOK/0b6bd7c60b540b1" ], [ "amazon-elasticache", "ElastiCache alon-003" ]
AWS Console
You can do the same using the AWS console.
Under EC2->Network Interfaces, search for the desired vpc-id in the search bar.

Code
Using a python script called vpc-inside.py you can describe all of your VPC resources.
usage: vpc-inside.py [-h] -v VPC [-r REGION] [-p PROFILE]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v VPC, --vpc VPC The VPC to annihilate
-r REGION, --region REGION AWS region that the VPC resides in
-p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE AWS profile
And the output will look like this:

Solution 2:[2]
VPCs mostly contain EC2 instances, RDS instances, Load Balancers and Lambda functions. Plus, things that use EC2 underneath, like Elasticache. These are the types of resources that connect into a VPC.
Some people suggest using the Tag Editor to find resources: Is there a way to list all resources in AWS.
I also like aws inventory, which simply runs in your browser and does a great job of showing resources. Just give it an Access Key and Secret Key to run.
Solution 3:[3]
You can try in AWS Config > Advanced queries and run below query :
All resources: SELECT resourceId, resourceName, resourceType
Resources directly associated to VPC: SELECT resourceId, resourceName, resourceType WHERE relationships.resourceId = 'vpc-02368dae78f1387e5'
Query can be further enhanced, see some example of preconfigured query.
Solution 4:[4]
There's no built in service to easily do this.
The best hope you'd have of find all resources is programatically looping over resources that support:
- SubnetId
- VpcId
