Maybe this won't work for you, but if you're using Amazon Linux when running stuff in EC2, you can just check if node.platform == "amazon". If yes, do this, if not, do that instead.
As far as I know, Amazon Linux is not available outside of EC2, so anything running on your machine would, by default, be not-Amazon Linux. And of course my comment is useless if you don't use Amazon Linux to begin with.
