try on your machine
The command you provided is an AWS CLI command used to retrieve attribute values for a specific service code and attribute name from AWS pricing. Let's break it down:
aws pricing get-attribute-values
: This is the base command to interact with the AWS Pricing API and retrieve attribute values.--service-code ${AmazonEC2}
: This option specifies the service code for which you want to retrieve attribute values. In this case, it is set to${AmazonEC2}
, which suggests that the value is stored in a variable. The service codeAmazonEC2
refers to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud service.--attribute-name ${instanceType}
: This option specifies the attribute name for which you want to retrieve values. Again, the value is stored in a variable called${instanceType}
. In this case, it refers to the attribute nameinstanceType
, which represents the different types of EC2 instances available.--region ${us-east-1}
: This option specifies the AWS region in which you want to retrieve the attribute values. The region is set to${us-east-1}
, indicating that it is stored in the variable. The regionus-east-1
refers to the US East (N. Virginia) region.
Overall, this command is used to fetch attribute values related to instance types for the Amazon EC2 service in the US East (N. Virginia) region using AWS Pricing API. Note that the variable references (${AmazonEC2}
, ${instanceType}
, ${us-east-1}
) should be replaced with the actual values when executing the command.
