💅 EC2-DETACH-VOLUME 💅

ok so this is the ec2-detach-volume page from the EC2 API command line tools manual, bestie — section 1, User Commands. buckle up, we're detaching volumes and it's gonna be a whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-detach-volume — detach an attached volume, periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ec2detvol ([ec2-detach-volume])
ec2detvol [GENERAL OPTIONS] VOLUME [-i INSTANCE [-d DEVICE]]
[-f|--force]

🌸 GENERAL NOTES 🌸

ok important one, lowkey applies everywhere: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of -, and that means "read the values for this option from stdin instead." so - is basically the "ask stdin, not me" move. iykyk. 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

you're detaching an attached volume from the instance you picked. and yeah, if you said so, you're doing it forcefully. 😭

the VOLUME parameter is the one that says which volume we're detaching. that's the whole thing. that's the assignment.

🌈 GENERAL OPTIONS 🌈

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever AWS_ACCESS_KEY is set to in the environment (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] use KEY as the private key. defaults to the value of the EC2_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable (if set). overrides the default. (yes it's deprecated, we don't make the rules 💀)
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] use CERT as the X509 certificate. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set). overrides the default.
  • -U, --url URL — use URL as the web service URL. defaults to https://ec2.amazonaws.com (that's us-east-1) or to whatever the EC2_URL environment variable says (if set). overrides the default.
  • --region REGION — use REGION as the web service region. this one overrides both the URL from the -U URL option and the EC2_URL environment variable. it defaults to the region given by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if that variable isn't set. she's got main character energy and she takes priority. 👑
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — check whether you could do the requested action instead of actually doing it. a vibe check, essentially.
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. more words. more lore.
  • -?, --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 — set a connection timeout of TIMEOUT, in seconds.
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — set a request timeout of TIMEOUT, in seconds.

🧚 SPECIFIC OPTIONS 🧚

  • -i, --instance INSTANCE — the running instance the volume is attached to.
  • -d, --device DEVICE — a device name, the one the VOLUME is exposed as inside INSTANCE.
  • -f, --force — forcefully disconnect VOLUME from INSTANCE.
⚠️ WARNING: this can lead to data loss or a corrupted file system. use this option only as a last resort, to detach a volume from a failed instance. the instance will not have an opportunity to flush file system caches nor file system meta data. like... bestie, i'm begging you, this is the nuclear option. 🙈🔥
