+= Accessing {op-system} AMIs with stream metadata
+
+In {product-title}, _stream metadata_ provides standardized metadata about {op-system} in the JSON format and injects the metadata into the cluster. Stream metadata is a stable format that supports multiple architectures and is intended to be self-documenting for maintaining automation.
+
+You can use the `coreos print-stream-json` sub-command of `openshift-install` to access information about the boot images in the stream metadata format. This command provides a method for printing stream metadata in a scriptable, machine-readable format.
+
+For user-provisioned installations, the `openshift-install` binary contains references to the version of {op-system} boot images that are tested for use with {product-title}, such as the AWS AMI.
+
+.Procedure
+
+To parse the stream metadata, use one of the following methods:
+
+* From a Go program, use the official `stream-metadata-go` library at https://github.com/coreos/stream-metadata-go. You can also view example code in the library.
+
+* From another programming language, such as Python or Ruby, use the JSON library of your preferred programming language.
+
+* From a command-line utility that handles JSON data, such as `jq`:
+
+** Print the current `x86_64` AMI for an AWS region, such as `us-west-1`:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.x86_64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image'
+----
++
+.Example output
+[source,terminal]
+----
+ami-0d3e625f84626bbda
+----
++
+The output of this command is the AWS AMI ID for the `us-west-1` region. The AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster.
