EC2-ATTACH-NETWORK-INTERFACE 💖

okay bestie, so you know how sometimes your lil cloud instance is just sitting there with no network interface and you're like "girl... get a life"? yeah. this is the manual page for ec2-attach-network-interface 💅 — it's a User Command from the EC2 API command line tools, and it does exactly the one thing it says on the tin. iconic behaviour, honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-attach-network-interface — attaches a network interface to an instance. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-trick pony and she ATE 🍓

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ec2attnic ([ec2-attach-network-interface])
ec2attnic [GENERAL OPTIONS] NETWORKINTERFACE -i INSTANCE -d DEVICEINDEX

so the short lil nickname is ec2attnic, and you can also call her by her full government name ec2-attach-network-interface. either way, she wants your NETWORKINTERFACE plus an instance (-i INSTANCE) and a device index (-d DEVICEINDEX). no cap. 🦋

👑 GENERAL NOTES 👑

okay so this is the part everyone skips and then cries about later: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of -, and that means "bestie, read the values for this option from stdin instead." every single one. fr fr. 🔥

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Attaches a network interface to an instance. she's simple, she's direct, she's not here to waste your time. main character energy but make it infrastructure. ✨

🎀 GENERAL OPTIONS 🎀

these are the shared ones — every command in the fam has them, so learn them once and you're set for life. iykyk. 💅

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. if you don't say anything, 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 value of the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if set). keep this one secret bestie, literally the name says it 😭
  • -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.
  • -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.
both of those are deprecated, okay? like, we don't do that anymore. she'll still let you, but the vibes are off. 💀
  • -U, --url URL — specify URL as the web service URL to use. defaults to the value of 'https://ec2.amazonaws.com' (us-east-1) or to that 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. 👑
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — checks if you can perform the requested action instead of actually performing it. the "just checking babe, not committing" option. 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she will tell you EVERYTHING. not me being nosy 🔥
  • -?, --help — display this help. hi, you are here. 💖
  • -H, --headers — display column headers. 📋
  • --debug — display additional debugging information. for when it's giving... problems. 😭
  • --show-empty-fields — indicate empty fields. yes queen, show us the nothing. ✨
  • --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 💖

these are the ones that actually do the thing. the moment. the main event. 🌟

  • -i, --instance INSTANCE — the ID of the instance that will be attached to the network interface. that's the girl getting the glow-up. 👑
  • -d, --device-index DEVICEINDEX — the index of the device for the network interface attachment on the instance. which slot she's sitting in. 💅
