AWS CLI output table as multi columns

outline

When using AWS CLI output as a table, if there is a lot of depth, the columns may overlap as one.

resolution

Add "|[0]" to end of query.

example (Single Column)

aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --query 'NetworkInterfaces[*].{PublicIP:PrivateIpAddresses[].Association.PublicIp}' --output table

---------------------------
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
||       PublicIP        ||
|+-----------------------+|
||  11.111.1.11          ||
|+-----------------------+|
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
||       PublicIP        ||
|+-----------------------+|

example (Multi Column)

aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --query 'NetworkInterfaces[*].{PublicIP:PrivateIpAddresses[].Association.PublicIp|[0]}' --output table

---------------------------
|DescribeNetworkInterfaces|
+-------------------------+
|        PublicIP         |

|  None                   |
|  None                   |
