Linux/bash to display date in UTC format
Raw
utc.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Many things want UTC time as input, so here it is. As 14 days ago. Like for a query to AWS spot instance history:
# aws ec2 describe-spot-price-history --instance-types t2.micro --start-time $(date -v-14d -u '+%FT%TZ') --product-description "Linux/UNIX"
#
# Output (of command below, not the aws cli command):
# 2018-02-13T15:24:46Z
#
date -v-14d -u '+%FT%TZ'
