# Desc: Utility script that allows you to find the same ami(name) across multiple regions.
# For instance, let's suppose that you want to find the Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS HVM SSD
# to build a nice cloudformation template. Note that you can play around with the filters
# that AWSCLI provides. Have fun ;)
# Usage:
# find_ami_in_multiple_regions.sh ami-e93da085 (Obs.: This ami must be at same region your AWS is set)
# Output:
# ap-south-1 - ami-0355216c
# eu-west-1 - ami-0d77397e
# ap-northeast-2 - ami-8fed39e1
# ap-northeast-1 - ami-0567c164
# sa-east-1 - ami-e93da085
# ap-southeast-1 - ami-a1288ec2
# ap-southeast-2 - ami-4d3b062e
# eu-central-1 - ami-8504fdea
# us-east-1 - ami-40d28157
# us-east-2 - ami-153e6470
# us-west-1 - ami-6e165d0e
# us-west-2 - ami-a9d276c9
