AWS - Transitioning resource IDs to a longer format.

[carmat88]

From the AWS console, here is an important communication:

We're transitioning resource IDs to a longer format. AWS is transitioning resource IDs to a longer format. The old format is a resource identifier followed by an 8-character string, and the new format is a resource identifier followed by a 17-character string. You have until July 2018 to opt in to the longer format.

If you do not take any action, you will be opted in automatically in July 2018, when all new resource IDs will be created with the longer format. Until the deadline, you can opt in and out of the new format as needed. Only newly created resources receive longer IDs; existing resources are unaffected.

Manage your individual longer ID settings per region in the Advanced Resource ID Management section.

As a first step, I am guessing that scripts about both image creation and deletion would likely to be revised.
