Is it possible to tag an Elastic IP address with boto3? I know you can tag them through the console and I have tagged many of them this way but I can seem to find any documentation on tagging them with boto3.
I this is not possible with boto3 is there some other library I can use to accomplish this?
The boto3 library offers a generic create_tags method that can be used to apply tags to a number of different types of AWS resources, including Elastic IPs. Here's an example of how to use it:
import boto3
ec2 = boto3.client('ec2', region_name='us-east-1')
response = ec2.create_tags(
Resources=[
'eipalloc-094ca1234de5abcd',
],
Tags=[
{
'Key': 'Description',
'Value': 'Production EIP'
},
]
)
Note: this adds the tag Description=Production EIP to whatever tags are already present on the resource (or it overwrites the Description tag if it already exists).
