add_tags_to_resource#

SSM.Client.add_tags_to_resource(**kwargs)#

Adds or overwrites one or more tags for the specified resource. Tags are metadata that you can assign to your automations, documents, managed nodes, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. For example, you could define a set of tags for your account’s managed nodes that helps you track each node’s owner and stack level. For example:

  • Key=Owner,Value=DbAdmin

  • Key=Owner,Value=SysAdmin

  • Key=Owner,Value=Dev

  • Key=Stack,Value=Production

  • Key=Stack,Value=Pre-Production

  • Key=Stack,Value=Test

Most resources can have a maximum of 50 tags. Automations can have a maximum of 5 tags.

We recommend that you devise a set of tag keys that meets your needs for each resource type. Using a consistent set of tag keys makes it easier for you to manage your resources. You can search and filter the resources based on the tags you add. Tags don’t have any semantic meaning to and are interpreted strictly as a string of characters.

For more information about using tags with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, see Tag your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Request Syntax

response = client.add_tags_to_resource(
    ResourceType='Document'|'ManagedInstance'|'MaintenanceWindow'|'Parameter'|'PatchBaseline'|'OpsItem'|'OpsMetadata'|'Automation'|'Association',
    ResourceId='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters:

  • ResourceType (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the type of resource you are tagging.

    Note

    The ManagedInstance type for this API operation is for on-premises managed nodes. You must specify the name of the managed node in the following format: mi-ID_number ``. For example, ``mi-1a2b3c4d5e6f.

  • ResourceId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The resource ID you want to tag.

    Use the ID of the resource. Here are some examples:

    MaintenanceWindow: mw-012345abcde

    PatchBaseline: pb-012345abcde

    Automation: example-c160-4567-8519-012345abcde

    OpsMetadata object: ResourceID for tagging is created from the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the object. Specifically, ResourceID is created from the strings that come after the word opsmetadata in the ARN. For example, an OpsMetadata object with an ARN of arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:1234567890:opsmetadata/aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager has a ResourceID of either aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager or /aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager.

    For the Document and Parameter values, use the name of the resource. If you’re tagging a shared document, you must use the full ARN of the document.

    ManagedInstance: mi-012345abcde

    Note

    The ManagedInstance type for this API operation is only for on-premises managed nodes. You must specify the name of the managed node in the following format: mi-ID_number ``. For example, ``mi-1a2b3c4d5e6f.

  • Tags (list) –

    [REQUIRED]

    One or more tags. The value parameter is required.

    Warning

    Don’t enter personally identifiable information in this field.

    • (dict) –

      Metadata that you assign to your Amazon Web Services resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. In Amazon Web Services Systems Manager, you can apply tags to Systems Manager documents (SSM documents), managed nodes, maintenance windows, parameters, patch baselines, OpsItems, and OpsMetadata.

      • Key (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The name of the tag.

      • Value (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The value of the tag.

Return type:

dict

Returns:
