✨ EC2-COPY-SNAPSHOT ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the ec2-copy-snapshot manual page and it's literally about moving a snapshot into your region from another region. it's giving "long-distance relationship but make it EBS". 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-copy-snapshot — copy a snapshot to this region from another region

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ec2cpsnap ([ec2-copy-snapshot])
ec2cpsnap [GENERAL OPTIONS] -r SOURCE_REGION -s SOURCE_SNAPSHOT_ID [-d DESCRIPTION]

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

ok so this is the little detail that eats: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of -, and that means "read the values for that option from stdin". yes, every single one. she's flexible like that. 💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Copies a snapshot to this region from another region. that's it, that's the whole vibe. your snapshot packs its bags and moves. no cap. ✨

💅 GENERAL OPTIONS 💅

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever AWS_ACCESS_KEY is set to (if it's set, 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 — 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. 🫠
  • -U, --url URL — specify URL as the web service URL to use. 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 — specify REGION as the web service region to use. this one overrides the URL you gave with 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. main character energy honestly. 👑
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check if you can perform the requested action instead of actually performing it. a little test run, a little vibe check. 🔍
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she talks more.
  • -?, --help — display this help.
  • -H, --headers — display column headers.

🌈 SPECIFIC OPTIONS 🌈

  • -d, --description — an optional description of the snapshot. optional!! but cute to have.
  • -r, --source-region SOURCE_REGION — the region you're copying the snapshot from. 🗺️
  • -s, --source-snapshot-id SOURCE_SNAPSHOT_ID — the snapshot to copy. the star of the show. ⭐

bestie, reminder: -K and -C are DEPRECATED. they still work but like… read the room. 🙈
