Try this out in powershell:

foreach ($id in (aws ec2 describe-instances --filters --query "Reservations[].Instances[].[Instance
Id]" --output text --region us-east-2)) { aws ec2 terminate-instances --instance-ids $id }

You can pass the --dry-run flag with terminate instances to confirm first if you'd like.
