Ohai should be capturing this info from the on-instance EC2 metadata
store; from the output of your curl command above it looks like that
info is not present on your instance. You ran that curl command from
the EC2 instance, right?

Here's what ohai is grabbing:
https://github.com/opscode/ohai/blob/master/lib/ohai/mixin/ec2_metadata.rb


This is what I see when I hit the metadata store on an EC2 instance:

# curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
ami-id
ami-launch-index
ami-manifest-path
ancestor-ami-ids
block-device-mapping/
hostname
instance-action
instance-id
instance-type
kernel-id
local-hostname
local-ipv4
mac
metrics/
network/
placement/
profile
public-hostname
public-ipv4
public-keys/
reservation-id

# curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname
BLAH-BLAH-BLAH.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Do you see anything cataloged in the EC2 metadata store?
