Unable to use type Instance from aws-sdk-v2 golang module

I am importing the following go module:

import "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/ec2"

I want to write a simple function that iterates over the instance tags so I am doing the following

func getInstanceDescription(instance *ec2.Instance) string {
    for _, tag := range instance.Tags {
        if *tag.Key == "Name" || *tag.Key == "name" {
            return *tag.Value
        }
    }
    return *instance.InstanceId
}

However, despite the fact that Instance is a type of this package, compiler complains

undefined: ec2.Instance compiler(UndeclaredImportedName)

What am I doing wrong?

You are using the Instance struct wrongly. As the Instance struct is not in ec2 package, it is in the types sub package.

You should use as

import "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/ec2/types"


func getInstanceDescription(instance *types.Instance) string {
    for _, tag := range instance.Tags {
        if *tag.Key == "Name" || *tag.Key == "name" {
            return *tag.Value
        }
    }
    return *instance.InstanceId
}
