EC2 Extension? What does it do?

I just noticed there’s an Amazon EC2 extension available. I can’t find any documentation about it. What does it do? What’s it for?

TIA

Can’t see any EC2 extension, but a S3 extension. It’s in the docs

I can’t even imagine what it might be for…but here it is.

I took a look inside the lex, and it appears to provide one function: EC2DescribeInstances. It’s described thusly: This function interfaces with the EC2 service to retrieve detailed information about specified EC2 instances. It supports custom filtering, specific instance IDs, regional targeting, and legacy mode handling.
