✨ EC2-DESCRIBE-NETWORK-INTERFACE-ATTRIBUTE ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're looking at a page from the EC2 API command line tools manual — section 1, User Commands, the one and only ec2-describe-network-interface-attribute. yes it's a mouthful. yes the header truncates it to EC2-DESCRIBE-...ACE-ATTRIBUTE(1) like it's too iconic for full spelling. we move 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-describe-network-interface-attribute — Describes a network interface attribute. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a specialist 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ec2dnicatt ([ec2-describe-network-interface-attribute])
ec2dnicatt [GENERAL OPTIONS] NETWORKINTERFACE

so you can call her by her long name or her lil nickname ec2dnicatt, and either way you're handing her a NETWORKINTERFACE plus whatever GENERAL OPTIONS you're feeling 🦋

🫶 GENERAL NOTES 🫶

  • Any command option or parameter can be handed the value -, and that means "hey, read the values for this option from stdin instead." yes, literally any of them. she's flexible like that 😌

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

She describes a network interface attribute. and here's the key tea: only one attribute can be specified per call. one. singular. don't get greedy, bestie, she will not do two 🚫✨

🌈 GENERAL OPTIONS 🌈

these are the options that apply across the whole EC2 tool family, not just this one. still mandatory knowledge though. no skipping 👑

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. if you don't pass it, she defaults to whatever's in the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable (if it's set) 🔑
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. defaults to the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if set). keep this one secret fr fr 🤫
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — the 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), and this option overrides that default. it's deprecated so like… noted, but don't make it your whole personality 💀
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] specify CERT as the X509 certificate to use. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set), and this option overrides that default. also deprecated. also noted 📜
  • -U, --url URL — specify URL as the web service URL to use. defaults to https://ec2.amazonaws.com (that's us-east-1) or to the value of the EC2_URL environment variable (if set). and yeah, it overrides the default 🌐
  • --region REGION — specify REGION as the web service region to use. this one overrides the URL you gave to -U URL and the EC2_URL environment variable. it defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable, or to us-east-1 if that environment variable isn't set 🗺️
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check whether you could perform the requested action, instead of actually performing it. window shopping for API calls, love that for you 🛍️
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she'll talk more 📢
  • -?, --help — display this help 🙋
  • -H, --headers — display column headers 🏷️
  • --debug — display additional debugging information. for when you need the extra lore 🔍
  • --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 ⏳

⭐ SPECIFIC OPTIONS ⭐

okay now the main character options. the ones that actually pick which attribute you're describing. remember: pick one 💅

  • -d, --description — get the description of the network interface 📝
  • --source-dest-check — gets whether to enable the source/dest check on traffic through this network interface. valid options are 'true' and 'false' ✅
  • --group-set — get the security groups for the network interface 🛡️
  • -a, --attachment — get the attachment (if any) of the network interface. note the "if any" — she might come back empty-handed and that's valid 🧷
