🌸 EC2-RELEASE-ADDRESS(1) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the ec2-release-address manual page, aka your lil' guide to yeeting an elastic IP address back into the void 💖 (it lives in the User Commands section of the EC2 API command line tools man pages, iykyk)

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-release-address — Release an an elastic IP address 💅

(yes the original says "an an", we're keeping it, it's iconic, no cap)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ec2reladdr ([ec2-release-address])
ec2reladdr [GENERAL OPTIONS] IP -a ALLOCATION_ID

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

ok so literally any command option or parameter can be handed a value of -, and that means the values for that option get read from stdin. cute, right? 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Release an allocated elastic IP address. that's the whole vibe. ✨

the IP parameter specifies the address to release — like, that's your main character right there 👑

🌈 GENERAL OPTIONS 🌈

  • -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) 🔑
  • -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 — 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), and it overrides the default. 🥀
lowkey a fossil, bestie — it's marked DEPRECATED, so maybe don't build your whole personality around it 💀
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] specify CERT as the X509 certificate to use. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set), and it overrides the default. 🥀
also DEPRECATED, same energy fr fr

  • --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. 🗺️
