+
+At work today I needed an easy way to collect private IP addresses of every instance in one of our production VPCs.
+
+I ended up adding a tool to http://botoform.com to perform this task.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  bf --profile <aws_profile> dump <vpc_name_tag> instances --output-format json
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  bf --profile customer3 dump prd instances --output-format json > ~/customer3-prd-instances.json
+
+Checkout the `Botoform Quickstart <https://botoform.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/quickstart.html>`_
+for installation instructions.
