👑 EC2-CREATE-GROUP(1) — User Commands 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're doing AWS security groups today and honestly? it's giving ✨empowerment✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-create-group — Create a new security group

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ec2addgrp ([ec2-create-group, ec2-add-group])
ec2addgrp [GENERAL OPTIONS] GROUP -d GROUP-DESCRIPTION [ -c VPC ]

so like, ec2addgrp is the actual command name, but she also answers to ec2-create-group and ec2-add-group because a queen has many names 💅

🫶 GENERAL NOTES 🫶

Any command option/parameter may be passed a value of - to indicate that values for that option should be read from stdin.

translation: you can literally hand her a - instead of a value, and she'll go read it from stdin instead. main character energy, honestly. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Create a new security group.

The GROUP parameter is the name of the new group.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you give her a name, she makes you a group. slay. 🔥

  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. defaults to the value of AWS_SECRET_KEY (if set).
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — the AWS delegation token. defaults to whatever AWS_DELEGATION_TOKEN is holding (if set).

  • --region REGION — specify REGION as the web service region to use. this option will override the URL specified by the -U URL option and the EC2_URL environment variable. defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if that environment variable isn't set. she said no indecision, pick a region. 🌍
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check if you can perform the requested action rather than actually performing it. it's the "let me think about it" of flags. 🙈

ngl, that -d is basically the group's bio. make it good. ✨
