✨ NAME ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

 ec2delkey ([ec2-delete-keypair])
 ec2delkey [GENERAL OPTIONS] KEY

🦋 GENERAL NOTES 🦋

real talk, this applies to every option and parameter on this page: you can pass it a value of - and that means "hey, read the values for this option from stdin instead." yes, even that one. all of them. iconic behavior tbh.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Delete an existing keypair. that's it. that's the gig.

the KEY parameter is literally just the name of the keypair you wanna delete. no cap.

🎀 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).
  • -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.
