The Amazon SSM multi-region endpoint

http://ssm.{region}.amazonaws.com

POST

Adds or overwrites one or more tags for the specified resource. Tags are metadata that you can assign to your automations, documents, managed nodes, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. For example, you could define a set of tags for your account's managed nodes that helps you track each node's owner and stack level. For example:

Key=Owner,Value=DbAdmin
Key=Owner,Value=SysAdmin
Key=Owner,Value=Dev
Key=Stack,Value=Production
Key=Stack,Value=Pre-Production
Key=Stack,Value=Test

Most resources can have a maximum of 50 tags. Automations can have a maximum of 5 tags.

We recommend that you devise a set of tag keys that meets your needs for each resource type. Using a consistent set of tag keys makes it easier for you to manage your resources. You can search and filter the resources based on the tags you add. Tags don't have any semantic meaning to and are interpreted strictly as a string of characters.

For more information about using tags with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, see Tagging your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Body Params application/json

ResourceType

enum<string>

required

Specifies the type of resource you are tagging.

Allowed values:

DocumentManagedInstanceMaintenanceWindowParameterPatchBaselineOpsItemOpsMetadataAutomationAssociation

ResourceId

string

required

The resource ID you want to tag.

Use the ID of the resource. Here are some examples:

MaintenanceWindow: mw-012345abcde

PatchBaseline: pb-012345abcde

Automation: example-c160-4567-8519-012345abcde

OpsMetadata object: ResourceID for tagging is created from the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the object. Specifically, ResourceID is created from the strings that come after the word opsmetadata in the ARN. For example, an OpsMetadata object with an ARN of arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:1234567890:opsmetadata/aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager has a ResourceID of either aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager or /aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager.

For the Document and Parameter values, use the name of the resource.

ManagedInstance: mi-012345abcde
