Description

We could add an EC2 service discovery package. EC2 allows for searching instances via tags. We could again use aws-sdk-go and manage fetching instances via ec2.DescribeInstances.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Learn how to use the AWS SDK for Go to call EC2 DescribeInstances with tag filters. Then design a service discovery package that periodically fetches instances and provides them to a consumer.
