The only supported values are efa and trunk .
[REQUIRED]
The ID of the subnet to associate with the network interface.
The tags to apply to the new network interface.
The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.
Note
The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.
The type of resource to tag on creation.
The tags to apply to the resource.
Describes a tag.
The key of the tag.
Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws: .
