💖 EC2-REBOOT-INSTANCES(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is one of those User Commands pages, and it's literally the glow-up guide for ec2-reboot-instances. Buckle up. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-reboot-instances — Reboot running instances. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ec2reboot ([ec2-reboot-instances])
ec2reboot [GENERAL OPTIONS] INSTANCE [INSTANCE [...]]

✨ GENERAL NOTES ✨

So like, any command option or parameter can be handed a value of -, and that's the little secret signal that says "hey, read the values for this option from stdin instead." 🫶 Not me dropping that lore early so you're not confused later.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It reboots selected running instances. Periodt. 💅

The INSTANCE parameter is an instance ID to reboot — that's the whole thing, that's the assignment.

✨ GENERAL OPTIONS ✨

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — Your AWS Access Key ID. It defaults to whatever AWS_ACCESS_KEY is set to in your environment (if it's set, obvi). 🔑
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — Your AWS Secret Access Key. Defaults to the value of the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if that one's set). 🤫
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — The 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). It overrides the default.
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] ⚠️ Specify CERT as the X509 certificate to use. Defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set). It overrides the default.
  • -U, --url URL — Specify URL as the web service URL to use. Defaults to the value of 'https://ec2.amazonaws.com' (that's us-east-1, iykyk) or to whatever the EC2_URL environment variable is (if set). It overrides the default. 🌈
  • --region REGION — Specify REGION as the web service region to use. Heads up bestie: this option overrides the URL you set with 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. 👑
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — Just checks whether you could perform the requested action instead of actually doing it. A vibe check before the vibe check. 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — Verbose output. Give me all the details, no holding back. 😭
  • -?, --help — Display this help.
  • -H, --headers — Display column headers. Main character energy for your output table. ✨
  • --debug — Display additional debugging information. For when you need to know everything. 💀
  • --show-empty-fields — Indicate empty fields. So nothing's hiding from you.
  • --hide-tags — Do not display tags for tagged resources. Bye tags. 🙈
  • --connection-timeout TIMEOUT — Specify a connection timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds). Don't wait forever for anyone, fr fr.
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — Specify a request timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds). Same energy, different timeout. ⏰
