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.

Research direction
The issue proposes adding an EC2 service discovery package. The implementation would use the aws sdk go library to call ec2.DescribeInstances with tag filters. Existing service discovery packages in the repository, such as Consul and Zookeeper, can serve as reference for the structure and integration.
