Associating and disassociating application resources
An application resource is an object within an AWS service that you can tag with the awsApplication
tag, which is an AWS user tag that AppRegistry vends on your behalf.
The following procedures describe how to associate and disassociated application resources.
Note
For AppRegistry applications created before November 8th, 2023, AppRegistry creates the awsApplication
tag
after you perform your first resource association. This tag’s value is a unique identifier for the application.
You can then apply the awsApplication
tag to any other resources you want to add to the application.
For AppRegistry applications created after November 8th, 2023, AppRegistry creates the awsApplication
tag
when you create the application.
