The timestamp on the first instance sample recorded by the ceilometer with give you that. A brute-force way of retrieving it: ceilometer sample-list -m instance -q "resource_id=$INSTANCE_ID" | grep instance | tail -1 | awk '{printf("%s created at %s\n", $2, $(NF-1))}' (it would be better if a reverse-timestampt ordering could be specified via the CLI, in which case we could just limit to result set to 1).
