Retrieving exact tag value from aws ec2 instances
I'm using the below command to get the AWS EC2 instance tag value for the tag name called 'Name', but the problem is that I also have a tag called 'Cluster Name' so the code below outputs the tag values for both 'Name' and 'Cluster Name' tags.
How can I make it so that I only retrieve the tag value for 'Name' tag?
aws ec2 describe-tags --region us-east-1 --filters "Name=resource-id,Values=i-01159fca884xxxxxx" | grep -2 Name | grep Value | tr -d ' ' | cut -f2 -d: | tr -d '"' | tr -d ','
bash amazon-web-services amazon-ec2 grep tags

This works on a Mac (quotation formatting might need to change for Windows):v
aws ec2 describe-instances --filter Name=instance-id,Values=i-xxx --query 'Reservations.Instances.Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value' --output text
Here's a very useful reference for understanding how to use --query: JMESPath Tutorial

This is giving me a return value of 'Name'. That is the name of the tag, but I wanted to get at the value of that tag..
