🫶 GENERAL NOTES 🫶

so real talk, this applies to literally every command option and parameter on this page:

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

yes bestie, - means "read it from stdin." that's the whole note. iconic behaviour honestly. 🍓

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

list all Spot Instance price changes ✨ this list can be filtered on various criteria. that's it. that's the description. short and slay. 😌

💜 GENERAL OPTIONS 💜

these are the universal ones, the ones that show up everywhere like that one friend in every group photo 📸

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever the 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. (deprecated bestie, we don't do that anymore 💀)
  • -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. iykyk 🙈)
  • -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. it defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if that environment variable isn't set. so like, it knows where it's at. main character energy. 👑
