Accelerate tags using AWS CloudFormation

Note

Make sure you have set Resource Tagger to read-only mode first before applying tags using AWS CloudFormation, otherwise Resource Tagger may modify the tags based on the configuration profile. For information on setting Resource Tagger to read-only mode, and guidelines on providing your own tags, see Accelerate tags without Resource Tagger.

To apply tags using AWS CloudFormation, you can apply tags at the stack level (see CloudFormation Resource Tags) or, at the individual resource level, (for example, see Creating EC2 Instance Tags).

The following is an example of how you can apply AMS Accelerate alarm management tags to an Amazon EC2 instance managed by AWS CloudFormation:

Type: AWS::EC2::Instance
Properties: 
 InstanceType: "t3.micro"
 
 # ...other properties...
 
 Tags: 
   - Key: "aws:rt:ams-monitoring-policy"
     Value: "ams-monitored"
   - Key: "aws:rt:ams-monitoring-policy-platform"
     Value: "ams-monitored-linux"

The following is an example of how you can apply AMS Accelerate alarm management tags to an Auto Scaling group managed by AWS CloudFormation. Note that the Auto Scaling group will propagate its tags to Amazon EC2 instances that are created by it:

Type: AWS::AutoScaling::AutoScalingGroup
Properties: 
 AutoScalingGroupName: "TestASG"
 
 # ...other properties...
 
 Tags: 
   - Key: "aws:rt:ams-monitoring-policy"
     Value: "ams-monitored"
   - Key: "aws:rt:ams-monitoring-policy-platform"
     Value: "ams-monitored-linux"
