Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

2018/02/09 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 2 new api methods

Changes  Users can now better understand the longer ID opt-in status of their account using the two new APIs DescribeAggregateIdFormat and DescribePrincipalIdFormat

DescribeAggregateIdFormat (new) Link ¶

Describes the longer ID format settings for all resource types in a specific region. This request is useful for performing a quick audit to determine whether a specific region is fully opted in for longer IDs (17-character IDs).

This request only returns information about resource types that support longer IDs.

The following resource types support longer IDs: bundle | conversion-task | dhcp-options | elastic-ip-allocation | elastic-ip-association | export-task | flow-log | image | import-task | instance | internet-gateway | network-acl | network-acl-association | network-interface | network-interface-attachment | prefix-list | reservation | route-table | route-table-association | security-group | snapshot | subnet | subnet-cidr-block-association | volume | vpc | vpc-cidr-block-association | vpc-peering-connection .

Request Syntax

client.describe_aggregate_id_format(
    DryRun=True|False
)
type DryRun

boolean

param DryRun

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

Response Syntax

{
    'UseLongIdsAggregated': True|False,
    'Statuses': [
        {
            'Deadline': datetime(2015, 1, 1),
            'Resource': 'string',
            'UseLongIds': True|False
        },
    ]
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • UseLongIdsAggregated (boolean) --

      Indicates whether all resrouces types in the region are configured to use longer IDs. This value will only be true if all users are configured to use longer IDs for all resources types in the region.

    • Statuses (list) --

      Information about each resource's ID format.

      • (dict) --

        Describes the ID format for a resource.

        • Deadline (datetime) --

          The date in UTC at which you are permanently switched over to using longer IDs. If a deadline is not yet available for this resource type, this field is not returned.

        • Resource (string) --

          The type of resource.

        • UseLongIds (boolean) --

          Indicates whether longer IDs (17-character IDs) are enabled for the resource.

DescribePrincipalIdFormat (new) Link ¶

Describes the ID format settings for the root user and all IAM roles and IAM users that have explicitly specified a longer ID (17-character ID) preference.

By default, all IAM roles and IAM users default to the same ID settings as the root user, unless they explicitly override the settings. This request is useful for identifying those IAM users and IAM roles that have overridden the default ID settings.

The following resource types support longer IDs: bundle | conversion-task | dhcp-options | elastic-ip-allocation | elastic-ip-association | export-task | flow-log | image | import-task | instance | internet-gateway | network-acl | network-acl-association | network-interface | network-interface-attachment | prefix-list | reservation | route-table | route-table-association | security-group | snapshot | subnet | subnet-cidr-block-association | volume | vpc | vpc-cidr-block-association | vpc-peering-connection .
