Tagging AWS Elemental MediaConvert resources
A tag is a label that you assign or that AWS assigns to an AWS resource. Each tag consists of a key and a value. For tags that you assign, you define the key and value. For example, you might define the key as "stage" and the value as "test." Tags help you to identify and organize your AWS resources. Tags that you assign to AWS Elemental MediaConvert jobs, job templates, queues, and presets are integrated with tags across AWS services.
Popular use cases for these tags are as follows:
-
You can use the AWS Resource Groups Tagging API to tag and group your MediaConvert resources with other tagged AWS resources. For more information, see the Resource Groups tagging API reference.
-
You can activate these tags on the AWS Billing and Cost Management dashboard, and then set up a monthly cost allocation report. For more information, see Setting up resources for cost allocation through tagging.
-
You can allow or deny resource-level access to your resources using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). For more information, see Controlling access to AWS resources using resource tags in the IAM User Guide.
You can use two types of tags on your MediaConvert jobs: standard AWS tags
(tags) and metadata tags (userMetadata). Standard AWS
tags integrate with AWS Billing and Cost Management, the AWS Resource Groups Tagging
API, and IAM
resource-based permissions. Metadata tags aren't integrated with other AWS
services.
Unless you have existing integrations or workflows that rely on metadata tags, we recommend that you use standard AWS tags for both automatic integration with AWS services and for custom integrations and workflows. For information, see Using metadata tags with AWS Elemental MediaConvert jobs.
