✨ ec2-delete-tags — the "nvm bestie, remove that tag" era ✨

okay so welcome to the ec2-delete-tags page from the EC2 API command line tools manual, section 1 (User Commands). sit down, hydrate, and let's un-tag some stuff together 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-delete-tags — Remove a set of tags. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a deleter 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ec2deltag ([ec2-delete-tags])
ec2deltag [GENERAL OPTIONS] RESOURCE_ID [RESOURCE_ID ...] --tag
KEY[=VALUE] [--tag KEY[=VALUE] ...]
lowkey notice that the command is literally called ec2deltag in the synopsis, not ec2-delete-tags. both are on the invite list, iykyk ✨

🦋 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 whole entire value can be a little - and it'll slurp it from stdin instead. iconic behavior fr fr 🍓

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So the vibe is: Removes a set of tags from a set of resources. You only need to specify the tag key, and not the value. 🫶

But listen — If you do specify a value, and it is incorrect, the tag is not deleted. Not "close enough", not "she'll figure it out". Wrong value = nothing happens. no cap. 😭

💖 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). shhh, that's a secret 🤫
  • -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. (deprecated bestie, she's retired but still shows up to the function 🙈)
  • -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 in the group chat 💀)
  • -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. the "pretend to do it" button, the rehearsal, the dress run ✨
