You are viewing the documentation for an older major version of the AWS CLI (version 1).

AWS CLI version 2, the latest major version of AWS CLI, is now stable and recommended for general use. To view this page for the AWS CLI version 2, click here. For more information see the AWS CLI version 2 installation instructions and migration guide.

[ aws . application-autoscaling ]

tag-resource

Description

Adds or edits tags on an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value, which are both case-sensitive strings. To add a tag, specify a new tag key and a tag value. To edit a tag, specify an existing tag key and a new tag value.

You can use this operation to tag an Application Auto Scaling scalable target, but you cannot tag a scaling policy or scheduled action.

You can also add tags to an Application Auto Scaling scalable target while creating it (RegisterScalableTarget ).

For general information about tags, including the format and syntax, see Tagging your Amazon Web Services resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

Use tags to control access to a scalable target. For more information, see Tagging support for Application Auto Scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide .

Options

--resource-arn (string)

Identifies the Application Auto Scaling scalable target that you want to apply tags to.

For example: arn:aws:application-autoscaling:us-east-1:123456789012:scalable-target/1234abcd56ab78cd901ef1234567890ab123

To get the ARN for a scalable target, use DescribeScalableTargets .

--tags (map)

The tags assigned to the resource. A tag is a label that you assign to an Amazon Web Services resource.

Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value.

You cannot have more than one tag on an Application Auto Scaling scalable target with the same tag key. If you specify an existing tag key with a different tag value, Application Auto Scaling replaces the current tag value with the specified one.

For information about the rules that apply to tag keys and tag values, see User-defined tag restrictions in the Amazon Web Services Billing User Guide .

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

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 add a tag to a scalable target

The following tag-resource example adds a tag with the key name environment and the value production to the scalable target specified by its ARN.

aws application-autoscaling tag-resource \
    --resource-arn arn:aws:application-autoscaling:us-west-2:123456789012:scalable-target/1234abcd56ab78cd901ef1234567890ab123 \
    --tags environment=production

This command produces no output.
