---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

@status_items = $ec2->describe_instance_status();
for my $i (@status_items) {
   for my $event ($i->events) {
      print $i->instance_id,': ',
            $event->code,' ',
            $event->description, ' ',

            $event->notAfter,"\n";
   }
}

bestie look at that loop within a loop 😭 it's so clean, it ate fr fr 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this object describes a scheduled maintenance event on an instance, and you get it back by calling the events() method of one of the status item objects that $ec2->describe_instance_status() hands you 🌈

🚨 NOTE: there is an inconsistency in the AWS documentation for this data type. The events field is documented as being a list, but the examples shown show a single object. At release time, the author was unable to verify which is correct, and so the code was written such that it will detect a single value in the response object and return this as a single-element list. periodt 💀

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

• code() — the code for this event, one of "instance-reboot", "system-reboot", "instance-retirement" 🔥
• description() — a description of the event 💬
• notBefore() — the earliest scheduled start time for the event ⏰
• notAfter() — the latest scheduled end time for the event ⌛

and when you use this object in a string context, it interpolates as a string in the form:

system-reboot [2011-12-05T13:00:00+0000 - 2011-12-06T13:00:00+000]

look at her, main character energy, she just strings herself together like that 💅✨
