And to opt-in for long ids ...

REGIONS=$(aws ec2 describe-regions --query 'Regions[].RegionName' --output text)
for R in $REGIONS 
do 
echo $R
aws ec2 modify-id-format --resource instance --use-long-ids --region $R
aws ec2 modify-id-format --resource reservation --use-long-ids --region $R
done

aws ec2 modify-id-format --resource reservation --use-long-ids --region $R
aws ec2 modify-id-format --resource snapshot --use-long-ids --region $R
aws ec2 modify-id-format --resource volume --use-long-ids --region $R
