EC2: New-EC2Tag Cmdlet | AWS Tools for PowerShell
AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell
Command Reference
AWS services or capabilities described in AWS Documentation may vary by region/location. Click Getting Started with Amazon AWS to see specific differences applicable to the China (Beijing) Region.
New-EC2Tag Cmdlet
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)Available in AWS.Tools.EC2, AWSPowerShell.NetCore and AWSPowerShell
Synopsis
Calls the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) CreateTags API operation.
Syntax
New-EC2Tag-Resource <String[]>-Tag <Tag[]>-DryRun <Boolean>-Select <String>-Force <SwitchParameter>-ClientConfig <AmazonEC2Config>
Description
Adds or overwrites only the specified tags for the specified Amazon EC2 resource or resources. When you specify an existing tag key, the value is overwritten with the new value. Each resource can have a maximum of 50 tags. Each tag consists of a key and optional value. Tag keys must be unique per resource.
For more information about tags, see Tag your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide. For more information about creating IAM policies that control users' access to resources based on tags, see Supported resource-level permissions for Amazon EC2 API actions in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
Parameters
-ClientConfig <AmazonEC2Config>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.EC2.AmazonEC2ClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-DryRun <Boolean>
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-Resource <String[]>
The IDs of the resources, separated by spaces.Constraints: Up to 1000 resource IDs. We recommend breaking up this request into smaller batches. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
| Required? | True |
| Position? | 1 |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ByPropertyName) |
| Aliases | ResourceId, Resources |
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The cmdlet doesn't have a return value by default. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateTagsResponse). Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-Tag <Tag[]>
The tags. The value parameter is required, but if you don't want the tag to have a value, specify the parameter with no value, and we set the value to an empty string. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
| Required? | True |
| Position? | 2 |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
| Aliases | Tags |
Common Credential and Region Parameters
-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
| Aliases | AK |
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ByPropertyName) |
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ByPropertyName) |
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.

New-EC2Tag -Resource i-12345678 -Tag @{ Key="myTag"; Value="myTagValue" }This example adds a single tag to the specified resource. The tag key is 'myTag' and the tag value is 'myTagValue'. The syntax used by this example requires PowerShell version 3 or higher.
Example 2
New-EC2Tag -Resource i-12345678 -Tag @( @{ Key="myTag"; Value="newTagValue" }, @{ Key="test"; Value="anotherTagValue" } )This example updates or adds the specified tags to the specified resource. The syntax used by this example requires PowerShell version 3 or higher.

$tag = New-Object Amazon.EC2.Model.Tag
$tag.Key = "myTag"
$tag.Value = "myTagValue"
