EC2 Tagging #2

Closed hostragon-hosting closed 8 years ago

hostragon-hosting commented 8 years ago

I used "CustomTagName: scheduler:ec2-startstop" since all the instances has the "Name" tag.

Should it be "scheduler:ec2-startstop"?

i wish there is a pictorial guide on the tagging to help non-English speakers.

If you use the names in the documentation the tag Key should be "scheduler:ec2-startstop" and the value should be "default" or "True" (or for a custom start/stop time a value in the format hhmm;hhmm;utc;days).

If you want to change the tag Key after running the cloudformation template you can do so by adjusting the value in the DynamoDB table that it created.

I hope that helps! I'm not the developer, but I went through the same exercise as you to set this up and found it a little confusing too!

Attached image shows the DynamoDB table with my tag name called "startstop". 2016-10-04 09_52_04-capture

@neilwheeler Thanks for answering the question.

@hostragon-hosting It should be "scheduler:ec2-startstop". Thanks again.
