💅 ec2-cancel-export-task(1) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a User Commands page for ec2-cancel-export-task — the EC2 API command line tool that hits cancel on an export task like it's a group chat you're done with. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-cancel-export-task — cancels an active export task. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ec2cxt ([ec2-cancel-export-task])
ec2cxt [GENERAL OPTIONS] EXPORT-TASK

✨ GENERAL NOTES ✨

so like, a lil heads up: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - to say "hey, read the values for this option from stdin instead." yes literally any of them. the flexibility?? we love to see it 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Cancels an active export task. periodt.

the EXPORT-TASK parameter is the one that identifies which export task you're cancelling — it's giving "name the target, no ambiguity" energy.

and then it deletes any temporary resources (think AMIs or snapshots) that were created by that task. so it's not just cancelling, it's doing a lil cleanup on the way out 🧹✨

✨ GENERAL OPTIONS ✨

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is set to (if it's set at all).
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. defaults to the value of the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if set).
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — AWS delegation token. defaults to the value of the AWS_DELEGATION_TOKEN environment variable (if set).
  • -K, --private-key KEY — [DEPRECATED] specify KEY as the private key to use. defaults to the value of the EC2_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable (if set). overrides the default.
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] specify CERT as the X509 certificate to use. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set). overrides the default.
