EC2-DEACTIVATE-LICENSE(1)

📦 version 1.6.14.1, in ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💖 ec2-deactivate-license — bestie edition 💖

okay so you're looking at EC2-DEACTIVATE-LICENSE(1), aka a page from the EC2 API command line tools (that's the manual, the name is right there, we're keeping it cute). sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's deactivate some license capacity together.

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-deactivate-license — deactivate capacity against a license. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-task queen 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ec2deactlic ([ec2-deactivate-license])
ec2deactlic [GENERAL OPTIONS] LICENSE -c CAPACITY

so you can call her ec2deactlic (or the long form ec2-deactivate-license), and if you want to actually do something you hand her a LICENSE plus -c CAPACITY. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

okay this part is important and lowkey applies to literally everything:

any command option/parameter can be given a value of -, and that means "hey, read the value for this option from stdin instead." cute, right? 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Deactivate capacity against a license. periodt.

the LICENSE parameter is the id of the license to deactivate. that's your target, bestie — you don't just deactivate vibes, you deactivate a specific license by id. 🎯

🔥 GENERAL OPTIONS 🔥

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is holding (if it's set).
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — 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, bestie, we don't do this anymore 😭] 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 too, sorry 🫠] 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 -U URL 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 the main character of region selection, fr fr.
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check if you can do the requested action instead of actually doing it. a lil vibe check before you commit. 👀
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she tells you everything.
  • -?, --help — display this help. hi, that's what you're reading-ish. ✨
  • -H, --headers — display column headers.
  • --debug — display additional debugging information. for when you're going through it 😭
  • --show-empty-fields — indicate empty fields.
  • --hide-tags — do not display tags for tagged resources. tags? hidden. gone. bye. 🙈
  • --connection-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a connection timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds).
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a request timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds).

🌈 SPECIFIC OPTIONS 🌈

  • -c, --capacity CAPACITY — the amount of capacity to deactivate. this is the how much, the license id is the which one. iconic duo. 💖
