💖 ec2-describe-account-attributes — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and today's main character is ec2-describe-account-attributes, aka ec2daa if you're on a nickname basis (and you are, we're besties now). she's the one who tells you all about your AWS account. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-describe-account-attributes — literally just describes your AWS account. that's it. that's her whole job. iconic behaviour.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ec2daa ([ec2-describe-account-attributes])
ec2daa [GENERAL OPTIONS] [ATTRIBUTE_NAME]

🌸 GENERAL NOTES 🌸

okay so this is the fun little rule that applies everywhere: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - and that means "bestie, please read the values for this option from stdin". yes, every single one. she's flexible like that. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Describes your AWS account. like, your whole account. the vibe check of your AWS existence.

🎀 Attribute Names 🎀

these are the attribute names you can ask about, and what each one actually means:

  • supported-platforms — whether your account can launch instances into Amazon EC2 and Amazon VPC, or Amazon VPC only.
  • default-vpc — the ID of the default VPC for your account.

💅 GENERAL OPTIONS 💅

every flag, every default, every environment variable. we're not skipping a single one, because the way that I refuse to gatekeep is unmatched. 🫶

  • -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).
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. defaults to whatever the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable is set to (if it's set at all).
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — your AWS delegation token. defaults to whatever the AWS_DELEGATION_TOKEN environment variable is set to (if it's set at all).
  • -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 it's set at all). overrides the default. (and yeah, deprecated — she still works but she's giving "senior who refuses to retire", proceed accordingly 💀)
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] specify CERT as the X509 certificate to use. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if it's set at all). overrides the default. (also deprecated, same energy fr fr)
  • -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 it's set at all). overrides the default.
  • --region REGION — specify REGION as the web service region to use. this option will override the URL you specified 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 environment variable isn't set. so yes, this one's the loudest voice in the group chat. 🔥
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — checks whether you can perform the requested action instead of actually performing it. vibes check before the real thing, obsessed.
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she tells you everything. oversharing as a love language.
  • -?, --help — display this help.
  • -H, --headers — display column headers.
  • --debug — display additional debugging information.
  • --show-empty-fields — indicate empty fields.
  • --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).
⚠️ reminder bestie: those -K and -C options are marked [DEPRECATED] right there in the source, so don't build your whole personality around them. 😭
