AWS CLI results in a text file?


I have 3000+ ebs volumes and I want to list them in aws cli.. however when I run the command

aws ec2 describe-volumes

the result ends up showing only one ebs volume and the terminal keeps saying "skipping".

I want to list all in a text file output maybe? or is there any other way to get all ebs volumes.

I need this to describe and filter out unused ebs volumes.. and then delete them!


Solution

  • Based on the comments.

    The solution was to use either (to save output to file):

    aws ec2 describe-volumes > myfile.txt
    

    or to display it:

    ec2 describe-volumes | less
