regions.txt

ap-south-1
eu-north-1
ap-northeast-2
ap-northeast-1
sa-east-1
ca-central-1
ap-southeast-1
ap-southeast-2
eu-central-1

Example usage:

git clone https://gist.github.com/9e6e06b1a0c56ad983d77788fb124648.git delete-vpc
cd delete-vpc
./delete-all-vpcs-in-region.sh $(cat regions.txt)

Get all regions like so:

aws ec2 describe-regions --query='Regions[].RegionName' --output=text | tr '\t' '\n' | sort > regions.txt

DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE REGIONS YOU WANT TO LEAVE UNTOUCHED!!!
