Client side filter for EC2 instances based on a Name tag pattern. Use of RSpec to test that code using stubs. RSpec example currently fails, and I do not know why. Failures: 1) InstanceManager#instances returns only EC2 instances with matching Name tag Failure/Error: expect(subject.instances.map(&:id)).to eq ["i-1", "i-2"] expected: ["i-1", "i-2"] got: ["i-1", "i-2", "i-1", "i-2"] (compared using ==) # ./spec/instance_manager_spec.rb:54:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
A very simple RSpec example showing how stub_responses affects the Aws::EC2::Client interface correctly, but results in doubled resonses from the Aws::EC2::Resource interface.
The default stub returns non-empty strings for all possible string values. This causes the next token that trigger paging to appear like there is a next response. I updated your stubbs to use nil next tokens to avoid this issue. Please feel free to open this as an issue against aws/aws-sdk-ruby as this is a poor default experience.
Fix broken tests by using `nil` next tokens to avoid erroneous paging.

And describe the `list_instances.rb`/`InstanceManager` example in the README.

The API reference for AWS Ruby SDK v2 is quite good and detailed, but I struggle to find more complex examples showing how to put it together to achieve common functionality.
This example code shows
