💖 EC2-DESCRIBE-GROUP 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about ec2-describe-group from the EC2 API command line tools — the little glow-up of a command that spills the tea on your security groups. it's a User Command, it lives in section 1 of the manual, and honestly? she's iconic. 👑

ec2dgrp ([ec2-describe-group])
ec2dgrp [GENERAL OPTIONS] [ GROUP [ GROUP [...]]]

🦋 GENERAL NOTES 🦋

no cap, this is a good one: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of -, which means "bestie, read the values for that option from stdin instead." 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

she lists and describes the security groups you've created (or that you have access to, iykyk). 🫶

the GROUP parameter is where you name the group name(s) and/or id(s) you want described.

and if you don't specify anything? don't stress — every single group visible to you gets returned. the whole friend group shows up. ✨
