tag-resource¶

Description¶

Associates the specified tags to a resource with the specified resourceArn . If existing tags on a resource aren’t specified in the request parameters, they aren’t changed. When a resource is deleted, the tags that are associated with that resource are deleted as well.

Synopsis¶

  tag-resource
--resource-arn <value>
--tags <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--resource-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource to add tags to. Currently, the supported resources are Amazon ECS capacity providers, tasks, services, task definitions, clusters, and container instances.

--tags (list)

The tags to add to the resource. A tag is an array of key-value pairs.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.

Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for Amazon Web Services use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.

(structure)

The metadata that you apply to a resource to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define them.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

key -> (string)

One part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

value -> (string)

The optional part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

Shorthand Syntax:

key=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "key": "string",
    "value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To tag a resource

The following tag-resource example adds a single tag to the specified resource.

aws ecs tag-resource \
    --resource-arn arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster/MyCluster
    --tags key=key1,value=value1

This command produces no output.

To add multiple tags to a resource

The following tag-resource example adds multiple tags to the specified resource.

aws ecs tag-resource \
--resource-arn arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster/MyCluster \
--tags key=key1,value=value1 key=key2,value=value2 key=key3,value=value3

This command produces no output.
