Objects and identifier prefixes
Every object in AWS has an identifier (Resource ID) with a prefix that characterizes the type of object. For example, i-01163e2ca54a0359e is the ID for an EC2 instance—we know it is an instance because of the i- prefix. Here is a partial list of ID prefixes and their associated object types:

Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) uniquely identify AWS resources.
