AWS - new EC2 Resource ID length - is Ansible ready?

[Adam Johnson]

AWS have recently announced the opt-in scheme for new Resource ID lengths for instances and reservations, which will become mandatory in December. Since Ansible uses Boto directly and probably doesn't make any assumptions about the lengths of resource IDs, I would guess it is fine, but has any work been done to check it? A bit hesitant to just click "opt-in" on the AWS console since it's account-wide.

Ok I'm now assuming that it is compatible. All new accounts since March 7 have it activated: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2016/01/longer-format-for-ec2-resource-ids/

All AWS accounts created after March 7, 2016, will automatically default to longer instance and reservation IDs, with the option to request the original, shorter 8-character format if necessary.

What version of Ansible are you using?

We opted in recently; we're running Ansible 2.1.1.0, and everything seems
fine. Has anyone seen any issues with it?

Since we opted in everything has been fine with all Ansible versions from 2.0.1.0 onwards
