💅 EC2-DELETE-SNAPSHOT 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for ec2-delete-snapshot — part of the User Commands lineup, and yes, it's giving exactly what it says on the tin. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-delete-snapshot — Delete a snapshot

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ec2delsnap ([ec2-delete-snapshot])
ec2delsnap [GENERAL OPTIONS] SNAPSHOT

✨ GENERAL NOTES ✨

lowkey the most important plot twist here: any command option/parameter can be passed a value of - to say "hey, read the values for this option from stdin instead." that's it, that's the note. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So you made a snapshot. Iconic. Now you wanna un-make it. This command deletes a previously created snapshot. 💀✨

The SNAPSHOT parameter is the one that tells it which completed snapshot is getting deleted. No SNAPSHOT, no deletion — she needs to know who she's serving.

✨ GENERAL OPTIONS ✨

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. Defaults to whatever AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is set to (if it's set at all, 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. (she's old, she's retired, we still list her out of respect.)
  • -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. (same energy, also retired.)
  • -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. This option defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if this environment variable is not set.
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check if you can perform the requested action rather than actually performing it. a little vibe check before the main character moment. 👑
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she talks more. we love her for it.
  • -?, --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).
fr fr, don't sleep on -D, --auth-dry-run — it's the "am I actually allowed to do this" button and it saves lives. 💖
