👑 EC2-DESCRIBE-REGIONS(1) — the "where in the world is my cloud" page 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and today's main character is ec2-describe-regions ✨ she's a little command with a big job and honestly? she ate.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-describe-regions — literally just: it lists the regions 🗺️

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ec2dre ([ec2-describe-regions])
ec2dre [GENERAL OPTIONS] [REGION [REGION [...]]]

no cap, that second line is the one you'll actually be typing 💅

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

okay so this is a cute little universal rule that applies everywhere on this page: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - to say "bestie, don't ask me for the value, go read it from stdin". that's it. that's the note. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

She lists the regions you have access to. iconic behaviour, truly.

The REGION parameter is how you tell her which region(s) you want described — you can name as many as you want, go off.

And if you don't specify any? Then all of your regions come back. every single one. she's thorough like that 🌈

✨ GENERAL OPTIONS ✨

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. If you don't pass it, it defaults to whatever's in the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable (if that's set). 🔑
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. Defaults to the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if it's set, obviously). 🤫
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — the AWS delegation token. Defaults to 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. > lowkey she's retired, don't build your whole personality on this one 🙈
  • -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. > also deprecated bestie, we've moved on 💀
  • -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. Heads up: this option overrides the URL you gave to -U URL and whatever EC2_URL says. And it defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if that variable isn't set. she's got layers 👑
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — checks whether you could perform the requested action instead of actually performing it. like a vibe check but for permissions 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she will simply say more.
  • -?, --help — display this help. hi, that's this 🫶
  • -H, --headers — display column headers. give the table a little hat 🎩
  • --debug — display additional debugging information. for when you need the tea ☕

  • --connection-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a connection timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds). ⏳
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a request timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds). also seconds, also a timer, different timer 🕰️
