VM::EC...g::EBS(3pm)

💖 VM::EC2::BlockDevice::Mapping::EBS 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for VM::EC2::BlockDevice::Mapping::EBS(3pm) — yes that's the whole name, it's giving "my parents named me after the entire family tree" energy, but we move 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

VM::EC2::BlockDevice::Mapping::EBS — the object that describes an EBS volume that's been mapped onto an Amazon EC2 instance 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use VM::EC2;

my $instance  = $ec2->describe_instances(-instance_id=>'i-123456');
my @devices   = $instance->blockDeviceMapping;
for my $d (@devices) {
  my $ebs = $d->ebs;
  $volume_id = $ebs->volumeId;
  $status    = $ebs->status;
  $atime     = $ebs->attachmentTime;
  $delete    = $ebs->delete;
  $volume    = $ebs->volume;
}

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this object exists to describe an Amazon EBS volume that's mapped onto an EC2 block device. It gets handed back to you by VM::EC2->describe_instances(). That's the whole vibe. 💜

Now, do not confuse this with VM::EC2::BlockDevice::EBS, bestie — that one describes the parameters you need to create the EBS volume when an image is launched. This class is the other thing: it describes an active mapping between an instance's block device and the underlying EBS volume. Two different girls, two different jobs, no cap 😭

And here's the tea: because literally all the methods in this class get passed through to VM::EC2::BlockDeviceMapping, it's honestly simpler to just call them directly on the BlockDeviceMapping object:

my $instance  = $ec2->describe_instances(-instance_id=>'i-123456');
my @devices   = $instance->blockDeviceMapping;
for my $d (@devices) {
  $volume_id = $d->volumeId;
  $status    = $d->status;
  $atime     = $d->attachmentTime;
  $delete    = $d->delete;
  $volume    = $d->volume;
}

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

The following object methods are supported, queen 👑:

• volumeId — the ID of the volume. that's it, that's the girl.
• status — one of "attaching", "attached", "detaching", "detached" ✨
• attachTime — the time this volume was attached ⏰
• deleteOnTermination — whether the volume is gonna get deleted when its attached instance is deleted. > heads up bestie: this returns the perl 0/1 booleans, not the "false"/"true" strings. ikyk 😌

In addition, the following convenience method is supported:

💫 $vol = $ebs->volume

This hands you back the VM::EC2::Volume object that corresponds to this EBS. The volume will give you extra info, like the availability zone 🗺️ — so go ask her, she knows things.

🌈 STRING OVERLOADING 🌈

NONE 🙈

she simply does not do that 💀
