 ### Using Predefined IDs for Pool Creation
 
 When creating Cognito user or identity pools, you have the flexibility to utilize a predefined ID by setting the tag `_custom_id_`. This feature proves particularly useful during the testing of authentication flows, especially when dealing with scenarios involving frequent restarts of LocalStack and the recreation of resources.

 Run the following command to create a user pool with a predefined ID:
 
 {{< command >}}
-$ awslocal cognito-idp create-user-pool --pool-name p1 --user-pool-tags "_custom_id_=myid123"
+$ awslocal cognito-idp create-user-pool --pool-name p1 --user-pool-tags "_custom_id_=us-east-1_myid123"
