Teardown Script Fails when Student count 50 or more

[VDI-Tech-Guy]

Problem Summary

When doing Teardown script fails due to AWS Boto Limitation of 200 Filtered objects, the code will scan for all objects related to the provision and fail if there are >200 (at 50 students there are 201 objects) and it will fail due to code issues.

Understanding this is a limitation of BOTO not the workshop either a recoding of the deletion process to delete certain objects first like Web Nodes then other objects could be done or limit to 49 to prevent BOTO issue.

This is an issue with the boto3 SDK, not Ansible, nor the workshop provisioner-> https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/713

here is the boto3 issue-> https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/1099
