  {
    "ReservedInstances": [
        {

            "OfferingType": "Medium Utilization",

  aws ec2 describe-reserved-instances --filters Name=duration,Values=31536000 Name=instance-type,Values=t1.micro Name=product-description,Values=Linux/UNIX Name=availability-zone,Values=us-west-1c

Output::

  {
      "ReservedInstances": [
          {
              "ReservedInstancesId": "f127bd27-edb7-44c9-a0eb-0d7e09259af0",
