How do tags work?
Tag Editor
AWS Management Console | Management Tools
Tags are words or phrases that act as metadata for organizing your AWS resources. A tag is a key-value pair. In Tag Editor, tag keys are represented as columns, and tag values are strings in the cells of a tag key’s column. Click here to read more about how tags work.
How can I bulk edit tags for multiple resources?
Tag Editor
AWS Management Console | Management Tools
You can use Tag Editor to edit tags for multiple resources in multiple regions at once. In Tag Editor, select the checkboxes for each of the resources you want to edit, and then click Edit tags for selected. Follow the on-screen prompts to manage tags on these resources.
How can I search for resources by tag substring or use wildcards in my tag search?
Tag Editor
AWS Management Console | Management Tools
Tag Editor lets you search for resources by tag substring. This is similar to appending a wildcard to the beginning and end of a string. To use this feature, begin typing a string in the tag value field of the Tag Editor search form and select the Contains: option to find values that contain the characters that you typed. For example, a search using Contains: Prod value for the “Name” tag key would return a resource tagged with “FooApp-DB-Prod” as the value in the “Name” tag key. Remember, tag search is case-sensitive.
How can I use the Tag Editor to search for resources that do not have a particular tag key applied or that have an empty value?
Tag Editor
AWS Management Console | Management Tools
Tag Editor lets you search for resources that do not have a particular tag key applied. You can also search for resources that have a tag key applied with an empty (blank) tag value. To search for untagged resources, select the appropriate tag key, and then select “Not tagged” or “Empty value” in the tag value search field.
