💖 EC2-ACTIVATE-LICENSE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ec2-activate-license, a User Commands era icon ✨ — she lives in the EC2-ACTIVATE-LICENSE(1) section of the manual and she does exactly one thing: activating capacity against a license. iconic behavior, truly. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-activate-license — activate capacity against a license 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ec2actlic ([ec2-activate-license])
ec2actlic [GENERAL OPTIONS] LICENSE -c CAPACITY

💅 GENERAL NOTES 💅

okay so before anything else, a lil universal rule: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of -, and that means "read the values for this option from stdin". yes, every single one. no cap. 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She activates capacity against a license. That's the whole vibe. 🔥

The LICENSE parameter is the id of the license to activate — that's the main character of this whole operation, so get her right. 👑

👑 GENERAL OPTIONS 👑

these are the options that apply across the board, bestie. all of them, in order, nothing skipped 💜

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is holding (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 — AWS delegation token. defaults to whatever AWS_DELEGATION_TOKEN environment variable says (if set).
  • -K, --private-key KEY — [DEPRECATED] ⚠️ use KEY as the private key. defaults to the value of the EC2_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable (if set), and this one overrides the default. (deprecated means she's old news, use with awareness, not with vibes 🙈)
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] ⚠️ use CERT as the X509 certificate. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set), and this overrides the default too. same energy, also deprecated 💀
  • -U, --url URL — use URL as the web service URL. defaults to https://ec2.amazonaws.com (that's us-east-1) or to the value of the EC2_URL environment variable (if set). overrides the default.
  • --region REGION — use REGION as the web service region. heads up, this option overrides the URL you set with the -U URL option and the EC2_URL environment variable. it defaults to the region given by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if that variable isn't set at all. so yes, she wins the argument 🌈
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — checks whether you can do the requested action instead of actually doing it. a lil rehearsal, no commitment. 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. more words, more info, more everything.
  • -?, --help — displays this help. hi, that's what you're reading basically.
  • -H, --headers — displays column headers. give the table a crown 👑
  • --debug — displays additional debugging information. for when you need to know why, fr fr.
  • --show-empty-fields — indicates empty fields. so nothing just silently vanishes on you. 💀
  • --hide-tags — does not display tags for tagged resources. bye tags, you're not invited. 🎀
  • --connection-timeout TIMEOUT — set a connection timeout TIMEOUT, in seconds.
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — set a request timeout TIMEOUT, in seconds.

⭐ SPECIFIC OPTIONS ⭐

the one that's special to this command, bestie 💖

  • -c, --capacity CAPACITY — the amount of capacity to activate. that's it, that's the number, that's the moment. 🔥
