Overview

If you want to tag AWS resources via the CLI in a uniform manner, then awsometag might be just the tool you're looking for.

Install it

Install awsometag by downloading one of the binaries or, if you have Go 1.12+ installed, you can clone this repo and build it from source using make bin.

Install on macOS

For example, to install awsometag from binary on macOS you would do:

curl -L https://github.com/mhausenblas/awsometag/releases/latest/download/awsometag_darwin_amd64.tar.gz \
    -o awsometag.tar.gz && \
    tar xvzf awsometag.tar.gz awsometag && \
    mv awsometag /usr/local/bin && \
    rm awsometag*

Supported platforms:

• Linux (both Intel and ARM)
• macOS
• Windows

Use it

The awsometag CLI tool takes two arguments:

1. the ARN of the resource to tag,
2. a list of comma-separated tags, each in the format key=value

Hence, the general usage pattern for awsometag is:

$ awsometag RESOURCE_ARN "TAG_KEY1=TAG_VAL1,TAG_KEY2=TAG_VAL2,..."
