VM::EC...Gateway(3pm)

💖 VM::EC2::VPC::CustomerGateway — the vibe

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for VM::EC2::VPC::CustomerGateway(3pm) 🎀 this is the lil Perl module that holds all the tea about an Amazon EC2 Virtual Private Cloud customer gateway. yes it's a lot of words. no it's not scary. let's go 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

VM::EC2::VPC::CustomerGateway — an object that describes an Amazon EC2 Virtual Private Cloud customer gateway. that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it beautifully 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the way you literally just do this:

use VM::EC2;

my $ec2      = VM::EC2->new(...);
my $gtwy     = $ec2->describe_customer_gateways(-customer_gatway_id=>'cgw-12345678');
print $gtwy->ipAddress,"\n",
      $gtwy->state,"\n";

no cap, that's the whole entrance. (and yes, -customer_gatway_id is spelled exactly like that in the source — do not "fix" it, i'm begging 🙈 copy it character for character, iykyk.)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this object represents an Amazon EC2 VPC route, and you get one handed to you by VM::EC2->describe_customer_gateways() and ->create_customer_gateway(). it's giving "here's your gateway, bestie, go be a main character with it" 👑

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

these object methods are supported — every single one, no skipping, periodt:

• customerGatewayId — the ID of the customer gateway. it's the name tag of the whole situation 💖
• state — the current state of the customer gateway. valid values are: pending | available | deleting | deleted. it's a whole journey, honestly 🌈
• type — the type of VPN connection the customer gateway supports (ipsec.1).
• ipAddress — the Internet-routable IP address of the customer gateway's outside interface. the outside-interface one, specifically, don't get it twisted ✨
• bgpAsn — the customer gateway's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Autonomous System Number (ASN). say that five times fast, fr fr 💀
• tagSet — tags assigned to the resource. cute little labels for your stuff 🏷️

also, the object supports the tags() method described in VM::EC2::Generic — so you get that one on the house 🫶

---

🦋 STRING OVERLOADING 🦋

when you use this object in a string context, it will interpolate the customerGatewayId. so it just knows how to introduce itself. iconic behaviour honestly 💅
