Unable to parse --filters parameters

[Danny-m08]

I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong in the following command:

aws ec2 describe-instances --filters  Name=tag:tag1,Values="1" --query Reservations[*].Instances[*].[InstanceId] --output=text
Error parsing parameter '--filters': Expected: '=', received: 'N' for input:
 Name=tag:tag1,Values="1"
 ^

Hi @Danny-m08 , thanks for reaching out.
I couldn't reproduce the error, though I'm fairly certain that the root causes for these errors seem to be the misuse of single/double quotes or spacing in some cases. I'd suggest to double check any extra spaces in your command and check out these posts for references here and here.

Here's the command I ran and it outputs without errors:

aws ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].{Name:Tags[?Key=='Name']|[0].Value,Status:State.Name}" --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values='*'"  --output table

Please let me know if any of this resolves the issue!
