💖 EC2-CREATE-DHCP-OPTIONS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ec2-create-dhcp-options manual page — it's a User Commands joint and honestly it's giving "let me set up your VPC's vibes from scratch" energy. stay with me, it's not that deep, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-create-dhcp-options — create a set of DHCP options for a VPC. that's the whole job. she's a builder. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

 ec2adddopt ([ec2-create-dhcp-options])
 ec2adddopt [GENERAL OPTIONS] NAME=VALUE[,VALUE...] [
NAME=VALUE[,VALUE...] ... ]

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

okay so this is important and kind of iconic: any command option/parameter may be passed a value of - to indicate that values for that option should be read from stdin. yes bestie, - means "read it from stdin", that's the whole trick. 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she does is: creates a set of DHCP options that you can then associate with one or more VPCs, causing all existing and new instances that you launch in those VPCs to use the set of DHCP options. like, you pick the options, she makes them real, your instances inherit them. slay. 💅

the following lists the individual DHCP options that can be specified:

  • domain-name — a domain name of your choice. you get to pick, main character move.
  • domain-name-servers — the IP address of a domain name server.
  • ntp-servers — the IP address of a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
  • netbios-name-servers — the IP address of a NetBIOS name server.
  • netbios-node-type — value indicating the NetBIOS node type (1, 2, 4, or 8); see RFC2132.

🌈 GENERAL OPTIONS 🌈

one bullet per flag, no skips, no shortcuts, we are thorough in this house:

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — AWS Access Key ID. defaults to the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable (if set). 🔑
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — 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.
  • -U, --url URL — specify URL as the web service URL to use. defaults to the value of https://ec2.amazonaws.com (us-east-1) or to that of the EC2_URL environment variable (if set). overrides the default.
  • --region REGION — specify REGION as the web service region to use. this option will override the URL specified by the -U URL option and EC2_URL environment variable. this option defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable or us-east-1 if this environment variable is not set.
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check if you can perform the requested action rather than actually performing it. it's a vibe check before the real thing. ✨
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she talks more.
  • -?, --help — display this help.
  • -H, --headers — display column headers.
  • --debug — display additional debugging information.
  • --show-empty-fields — indicate empty fields.
  • --hide-tags — do not display tags for tagged resources.
  • --connection-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a connection timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds).
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a request timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds).
lowkey heads up: -K and -C are marked [DEPRECATED] in the original, so don't go making them your whole personality. 💀
