💖 EC2-DELETE-VPC(1) — bestie's guide to yeeting a VPC 💖

okay so real talk, this page is from the ec2-delete-vpc manual (that's the tool, the man page name is EC2-DELETE-VPC(1)) and it's literally just "how do I delete a VPC" and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-delete-vpc — Delete a VPC 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

 ec2delvpc ([ec2-delete-vpc])
 ec2delvpc [GENERAL OPTIONS] VPC

🌸 GENERAL NOTES 🌸

ok so the big brain move here: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - and that means "bestie, read the values for this option from stdin instead" 💌

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Deletes a VPC. periodt. 💀

but WAIT. before you go feral on that delete button, you must terminate all running instances and delete all subnets before deleting the VPC. it's giving "you can't break up with the VPC until you've moved all your stuff out" 😭 no skipping steps fr fr.
