PowerShell got cmdlets that supports AWS, adding
an EC2 Tag in AWS using PowerShell is quite straight forward.
Adding multiple tag values is another
thing.
If multiple tags have to be added, it would
make sense to separate those values by commas, it will be easy to read and
would also indicate that the value separated by commas are different but share
the same main key.
Adding tags like this in PowerShell is
quite easy.
Here’s the code:
aws ec2 create-tags --resources
i-123456abc, i-7896543afsd, i-0123098sdf `
--tags 'Key=\"Product\",Value=User_flawed', 'Key=\"Dept\",Value=Warehouse', `
--tags 'Key=\"Product\",Value=User_flawed', 'Key=\"Dept\",Value=Warehouse', `
'Key=\"Location\",Value=SF_Holly',
'Key=\"Function\",Value=Null_Database', `
'Key=\"Crawlers_Remarks\",Value=\"Indexer,
Whatever, Ongoing\" '
These are instance id’s in which the tag
will be created:
i-123456abc, i-7896543afsd, i-0123098sdf
New tags:
Product with value User_flawed
Dept with value Warehouse
Location with value SF_Holly
Function with value Null_Database'
Crawlers_Remarks with multiple values
of Indexer, Whatever, Ongoing
The space after the quote is necessary
after the last value: ,Ongoing\" d_white_space '
If there is no space between the double quotes and single quote there will be an error.
If there is no space between the double quotes and single quote there will be an error.
Notice also that the double quotes have
been escaped with a backslash.
The back-tick character is just for
readability to separate the PowerShell commands into multiple lines.
The instance-id can also be replaced with
the volume-id for the EBS volume, then just replaced the key and values with
the appropriate information for the EBS volume.
Without the double quotes, multiple values
separated by commas won’t be added to AWS Tag if PowerShell is used to create
or update by replacing the Tags.
If above command is used to update the tags, just put the new value and it will update or replace the existing tag values.
Cheers. Till next time.
