💖 NAME 💖

VM::EC2::REST::general — General EC2 methods ✨ (yes bestie, this is the VM::EC2::REST::general(3pm) page, we're here, we made it)

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

use VM::EC2 'general';

That's it. That's the whole vibe. Load it and go 💅

🦋 METHODS 🦋

These are the EC2 methods that Amazon itself just... calls "general". No notes, no theme, just vibes.

Implemented: 🔥

  • GetConsoleOutput
  • DescribeAccountAttributes

Unimplemented: 💀

  • (none) — she's fully built out, no gaps, we love to see it

$output = $ec2->get_console_output(-instance_id=>'i-12345')

$output = $ec2->get_console_output('i-12345');

Okay so this one gets you the console output of whichever instance you point at. 👑

And here's the cute part — what you actually get back is a VM::EC2::ConsoleOutput object, but it's overloaded, so it switches up its whole personality depending on how you treat it:

  • Treat it like a string? Boom, it shows up as a big ol' text string with the console output inside it. 📜
  • Treat it like an object? Then it hands you instanceId() and timestamp() methods. ✨

Iconic behavior honestly.

@attrs = $ec2->describe_account_attributes(-attribute_name => \@attr_list)

@attrs = $ec2->describe_account_attributes(@attr_list)

@attrs = $ec2->describe_account_attributes($attr)

Describes the attribute you ask for on your AWS account. 🫶

Require Argument:

  • -attribute_name — the attribute you wanna describe, bestie, you gotta tell her which one

Supported attributes:

Returns an array of VM::EC2::AccountAttributes objects. 🎀

and that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left no crumbs ✨💅

Sign-off realness: this was perl v5.38.2, dated 2024-08-10, and yeah the footer really does just say VM::EC...eneral(3pm) because the terminal truncates her name like that 😭 she's still iconic tho 🎀🦋💖
