+-------------------------------+---------------------+----------------+
| Name                          | Instance ID         | IP Address     |
+-------------------------------+---------------------+----------------+
| ssm-example-1                 | i-1293d51299c7aa4b4 | 10.236.223.65  |
| ssm-example-2                 | i-918adf735b3ccd5a8 | 10.47.100.197  |
| ssm-example-3                 | i-51aaaf17afc1a2532 | 10.134.93.15   |
| ssm-example-4                 | i-46afc19573dca72a3 | 10.215.192.54  |

You can use all three identifiers (Names, Instance IDs, and IP addresses) to access a given EC2 instance:

$ hatch ssm-example-1

sh-4.2$ cat /etc/hostname 
ssm-example-1
sh-4.2$ exit
exit
