I'm trying to implement an API that can add tags to all the existing resources in AWS. I can't use AWS CloudFormation approach for this.
Is there any common API/SDK approach to add custom tags to the existing AWS resources by passing the resourceIds?
What AWS resources do you mean. Do you mean an object in an Amazon S3 bucket? Many Service SDKs expose a Service client that lets you perform tagging operations. Consider the S3Client service client, which is part of the AWS SDK for Java V2.
This service client has a method named putObjectTagging that lets you tag objects. Likewise other service clients have similar tagging methods.
I didn't get any common API/SDK to add tags to different AWS resources. But Here is what I got it and used for my requirement.
Search for Resource Groups & Tag Editor in the AWS Console and go to Tag Editor section, you can see an UI to select resource types and option to add new tags for a region. You can select multiple resources based on the region and resource type you choose and apply the set of tags together in a single shot.
