aws-ec2: Delete an EC2 volume.
$ aws ec2 delete-volume --volume-id ${volume_id}
try on your machine

The command "aws ec2 delete-volume --volume-id ${volume_id}" is used to delete an Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume in AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud).

Here's a breakdown of the command components:

  • "aws ec2" indicates that you are using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) tool and targeting the EC2 service.
  • "delete-volume" is the specific command to delete a volume.
  • "--volume-id ${volume_id}" is an option or parameter for the command. "${volume_id}" is a placeholder for the actual ID of the volume you want to delete. You need to replace "${volume_id}" with the actual ID when using this command.

To use the command, you'll need to have the AWS CLI installed and configured on your system. Also, ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete the volume.
