💖 EC2-DESCRIBE-RESERVED-INSTANCES 💖

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because we're looking at ec2-describe-reserved-instances, a lil user command from the EC2-DESCRIBE...VED-INSTANCES(1) manual (yes that's the abbreviated title, it's giving truncated, we love that for it 🎀). She lives in your shell, she tells you about the reserved instances you bought, and she's honestly so underrated. Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-describe-reserved-instances — describe purchased reserved instances. that's the whole job. no notes. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

 ec2dri ([ec2-describe-reserved-instances])
 ec2dri [GENERAL OPTIONS] [RESERVED-INSTANCES-ID [RESERVED-INSTANCES-ID
[...]]]

so like. ec2dri is the short little nickname (iykyk) and ec2-describe-reserved-instances is the government name. same girl. 💅

🫶 GENERAL NOTES 🫶

Any command option/parameter may be passed a value of - to indicate that values for that option should be read from stdin.

translation: hand her a - and she'll take the values from stdin instead. lowkey iconic of her.
