[v2] Question: Additional Tags on Target Groups

[alexandrud]

Hi,

In v1 there were a couple of tags set on target groups "kubernetes.io/service-port" and "kubernetes.io/service-name". This is no longer set in v2. For us it was useful because we have scripts that look at it and try to connect to the services in kubernetes to read swagger. Based on that info we configure WAFv2 rules.

Is there a way to re-add that tag on the target groups?

Thank you!

These are the new tags that we currently have

ingress.k8s.aws/stack  <namespace/ingess-name>
ingress.k8s.aws/resource  <namespace/service_name:service_port>
elbv2.k8s.aws/cluster <cluster_name>

In addition you can also specify additional tags via the annotation on the ingress or service resources alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/tags

@kishorj I tried to add my tags in alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/tags in my service file for nlb-ip but the target group still only has the 3 tags you mentioned.

[kishorj]

The alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/* annotations applies for ALB only not NLB.

For NLB, this annotation service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-additional-resource-tags currently apples the tags to the load balancer resource only. I will put together a fix to apply this annotation to the target group resources as well.
