✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ec2addvpn ([ec2-create-vpn-connection])
ec2addvpn [GENERAL OPTIONS] [SPECIFIC OPTIONS]

✨ GENERAL NOTES ✨

ok so real talk, this applies to literally every command option/parameter out there: you can hand any of them a value of - and that means "hey, read the values for this option from stdin". iconic behaviour honestly. 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Creates a VPN connection between an existing VPN gateway and customer gateway. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. periodt. 👑

✨ 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, bestie).
  • -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 means deprecated, girlies — it still works but she's old news)
  • -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. ⚠️ same energy, also deprecated.
  • -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 env var isn't set. she's got range. 🌈
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check if you can perform the requested action instead of actually performing it. vibe check before the real thing, we love a rehearsal. 🎀
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. spill the tea, tell me everything. 💬
  • -?, --help — display this help.
  • -H, --headers — display column headers.

✨ SPECIFIC OPTIONS ✨

  • -t, --type TYPE — the type of VPN connection.
  • --customer-gateway CUSTOMER_GATEWAY — the ID of the customer gateway.
  • --vpn-gateway VPN_GATEWAY — the ID of the VPN connection gateway.
  • --format FORMAT — causes the response to include customer gateway configuration information, in the format specified by this option. the options include:

  • --static-routes-only BOOLEAN — indicates whether the connection uses static routes only. used for devices that do not support Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). default value: false.
heads up bestie: that BGP thing is the actual reason this flag exists — some devices just can't do it, so static routes only it is. 🫶
