How do I find the OS of a running EC2 instance? : <p>I looked at attributes of the EC2 instance, but did not get a clear attribute value that identifies the same.</p>

<p>I also, saw the following discussion, but Im wondering whether identifying the os/platform has been simplified by aws since this disscusion.
