✨ EC2-CREATE-V...NG-CONNECTION ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ec2-create-vpc-peering-connection manual page 💖 it lives in the User Commands section of the manual (that's manual section 1, iykyk), and it's literally about making two VPCs become besties. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-create-vpc-peering-connection — Create a new VPC Peering Connection ✨

like. the whole point. two VPCs, one connection, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ec2addpcx ([ec2-create-vpc-peering-connection])
ec2addpcx [GENERAL OPTIONS] -c VPC -p VPC [-o PEER_OWNER_ID]

so yeah, you can just call ec2addpcx (or the long-form name, whatever your heart wants) 💅

🦋 GENERAL NOTES 🦋

Any command option or parameter can be handed the value - and that means "hey, read the values for this one off stdin instead" 📥 yes, ANY of them. iconic behaviour honestly.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Creates a new VPC Peering Connection between two VPCs. that's it, that's the whole vibe. two VPCs, linked up, besties forever 🫶💫

💅 GENERAL OPTIONS 💅

these are the options that are always hanging around, no matter what you're doing 👑

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID 🔑. defaults to whatever's in the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable (if that's even set).
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key 🤫. defaults to the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if it's set).
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — your AWS delegation token 🎫. defaults to the AWS_DELEGATION_TOKEN environment variable (if it's 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 overrides the default. ngl bestie, deprecated means move on 💀
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] use CERT as the X509 certificate. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set), and overrides the default. also deprecated, also please don't 😭
  • -U, --url URL — use URL as the web service URL 🌐. defaults to 'https://ec2.amazonaws.com' (that's us-east-1) or to whatever the EC2_URL environment variable says (if it's set). overrides the default.
  • --region REGION — use REGION as the web service region 🗺️. this one overrides the URL you gave with the -U URL option AND the EC2_URL environment variable. it defaults to whatever region EC2_URL points at, or us-east-1 if that variable isn't set at all.
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — just check if you'd be allowed to do the thing, without actually doing the thing 👀 very "asking permission first" of you, love that.
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output 🗣️ she's chatty.
  • -?, --help — display this help 🙋
  • -H, --headers — display column headers 📋
  • --debug — display extra debugging information 🐛
  • --show-empty-fields — indicate empty fields 🕳️ (yes, even the empty ones deserve to be seen)
  • --hide-tags — do NOT display tags for tagged resources 🙈
  • --connection-timeout TIMEOUT — set the connection timeout TIMEOUT, in seconds ⏱️
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — set the request timeout TIMEOUT, in seconds ⏳

🔥 SPECIFIC OPTIONS 🔥

these ones are the whole reason we're here, the main characters of this page 👑

  • -c, --vpc VPC — the ID of your VPC, the one you're making a peering connection from 🏠
  • -p, --peer-vpc VPC — the ID of the Peer VPC, the one you're making a peering connection with 🤝. if that VPC belongs to a whole different account than yours, you also have to specify the Peer Owner ID (-o | --peer-owner-id) ⚠️ don't forget, she will not connect without it.
  • -o, --peer-owner-id PEER_OWNER_ID — the account ID of the owner of the Peer VPC you're peering with 🔑. defaults to your own account ID.
okay real talk for a sec bestie — if the peer VPC isn't yours, the -o/--peer-owner-id is not optional, it's mandatory. no cap, the command will not vibe with you otherwise 💀
