Description

The AWS boto client has a Paginator to help iterating within api result limits, which while clunky is very nice to have since it's hard to get it wrong.

A method to iterate/list all results or else a Paginator that hides the pagination parameters which are easy to get wrong would be super helpful. The 1000 job limit is an issue in all projects I've needed to use this in.

Research direction

Start by locating the client entry points for listing jobs and other API results, then compare their pagination behavior with the AWS boto Paginator described in the issue. Done means callers can iterate beyond the 1,000-job limit without manually handling error-prone pagination parameters.
