modify-id-format¶

Description¶

Modifies the ID format for the specified resource on a per-Region basis. You can specify that resources should receive longer IDs (17-character IDs) when they are created.

This setting applies to the IAM user who makes the request; it does not apply to the entire AWS account. By default, an IAM user defaults to the same settings as the root user. If you’re using this action as the root user, then these settings apply to the entire account, unless an IAM user explicitly overrides these settings for themselves. For more information, see Resource IDs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

Resources created with longer IDs are visible to all IAM roles and users, regardless of these settings and provided that they have permission to use the relevant Describe command for the resource type.

Synopsis¶

  modify-id-format
--resource <value>
--use-long-ids | --no-use-long-ids
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--resource (string)

The type of resource: bundle | conversion-task | customer-gateway | dhcp-options | elastic-ip-allocation | elastic-ip-association | export-task | flow-log | image | import-task | internet-gateway | network-acl | network-acl-association | network-interface | network-interface-attachment | prefix-list | route-table | route-table-association | security-group | subnet | subnet-cidr-block-association | vpc | vpc-cidr-block-association | vpc-endpoint | vpc-peering-connection | vpn-connection | vpn-gateway .

Alternatively, use the all-current option to include all resource types that are currently within their opt-in period for longer IDs.

--use-long-ids | --no-use-long-ids (boolean)

Indicate whether the resource should use longer IDs (17-character IDs).

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To enable the longer ID format for a resource

The following modify-id-format example enables the longer ID format for the instance resource type.

aws ec2 modify-id-format \
    --resource instance \
    --use-long-ids

To disable the longer ID format for a resource

The following modify-id-format example disables the longer ID format for the instance resource type.

aws ec2 modify-id-format \
    --resource instance \
    --no-use-long-ids

The following modify-id-format example enables the longer ID format for all supported resource types that are within their opt-in period.

aws ec2 modify-id-format \
    --resource all-current \
    --use-long-ids
