Options

--instance-id (string)

The ID of the EC2 instance.

--instance-os-user (string)

The OS user on the EC2 instance for whom the key can be used to authenticate.

--ssh-public-key (string)

The public key material. To use the public key, you must have the matching private key.

--availability-zone (string)

The Availability Zone in which the EC2 instance was launched.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
