💖 EC2-START-INSTANCES 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for ec2-start-instances, a User Command, aka the lil glow-up button for your sleepy EC2 instances. this is the ec2-start-instances(1) page and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it gets the job done. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-start-instances — Start running instances

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ec2start ([ec2-start-instances])
ec2start [GENERAL OPTIONS] INSTANCE [INSTANCE [...]]

🫶 GENERAL NOTES 🫶

lowkey the most important thing in this whole page, so listen up:

  • literally any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - to say "hey, read the values for that option from stdin instead". yes, any of them. the flexibility is giving main character energy fr fr.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Start selected running instances. that's it, that's the vibe. ✨

the INSTANCE parameter is an instance ID to start. you can pass more than one, because why wake up just one bestie when you can wake up the whole group chat 💅

👑 GENERAL OPTIONS 👑

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is set to (if it's set at all).
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. defaults to the value of the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if set).
  • -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). overrides the default. 🚩 deprecated, so maybe don't make this 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). overrides the default. also deprecated, also a lil vintage 🚩
  • -U, --url URL — specify URL as the web service URL to use. defaults to https://ec2.amazonaws.com (us-east-1) or to the value 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 the EC2_URL environment variable. it defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if that environment variable is not set. so basically it's the boss of the URL situation, no cap.
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check if you can perform the requested action instead of actually performing it. window shopping, basically 🛍️
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. give me all the tea.
  • -?, --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).
