💖 ec2-create-customer-gateway 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ec2-create-customer-gateway era — that's a User Commands page, section 1 of the manual, and it's literally about spinning up a VPC gateway. yes we're doing cloud networking in the group chat now, stay with me 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-create-customer-gateway — Create a VPC gateway 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ec2addcgw ([ec2-create-customer-gateway])
ec2addcgw [GENERAL OPTIONS] -t TYPE -i IP -b BGP_ASN

like, that's the whole vibe. two ways in, both valid, both iconic 💅

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

Any command option/parameter may be passed a value of - to indicate that values for that option should be read from stdin. yes bestie, the hyphen is doing the work of "read it yourself from the keyboard bestie" 😭 lowkey genius.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this one provides information to AWS about your customer gateway device. that's the whole job, no notes.

You must provide the BGP ASN of the device and a static Internet-routable IP address of the customer gateway's outside interface. no skipping steps, no half-assing it, the API will simply not be slayed 🙈

💜 GENERAL OPTIONS 💜

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. Defaults to the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable (if set). ✨
  • -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. (bestie it's deprecated, so like, it's giving 2014, use it with awareness 💀)
  • -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. (also deprecated, also still here, we don't make the rules 🎀)

This option defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable or us-east-1 if this environment variable is not set. 🌈

⭐ SPECIFIC OPTIONS ⭐

  • -t, --type TYPE — The type of VPN connection this customer gateway supports. 🔥
  • -i, --ip IP_ADDRESS — The static Internet-routable IP address for the customer gateway's outside interface.
  • -b, --bgp-asn BGP_ASN — The customer gateway's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing Autonomous System Number (ASN). [OPTIONAL]. If you do not specify a value, a default value of 65000 will be used. and that's your fallback queen, she's always there 💅
