Do you guys know if we can display the EC2 instance type using command line?
Currently, I only have access to the command line of an EC2 instance. Is there a command line that I can type to display the type of instance. eg, p2.8xLarge or g.16x etc.

You can select any Region that's available to you, regardless of your location. In the navigation pane, choose Instance Types.
