AWS Tag Editor - AWS Migration Acceleration Program 2.0 Tagging Guide

AWS Tag Editor

You can use the AWS Resource Groups and Tag Editor to tag your migrated resources.

Note

The AWS Tag Editor only works for resources running in the account.

To get started

  1. Open the AWS Management Console.

  2. Go to the Resource Groups & Tag Editor, Tagging, Tag Editor page.

  3. Specify the Region(s) your resources are located. Example: us-east-1.

  4. Choose the type of resources you want to bulk tag. Example: EC2, Lambda, and S3.

  5. Choose Search resources to view the resources that meet the conditions you have selected.

  6. Select all or a few of the listed resources you want to tag.

  7. Choose Manage tags of selected resources.

  8. Enter map-migrated in the Tag Key field.

    Note

    The Migration Acceleration Program requires that you tag resources with the map-migrated. This tag is automatically activated for you as a cost allocation tag. Tags that are automatically activated don't count towards your cost allocation tag quota. For more information, see Quotas and restrictions.

  9. Enter and replace your MPE ID with the tag value you want to apply to the migrated workloads.

    Example:

    • If your MPE ID is 12345, use the value mig12345.

    • If your MPE ID is ABCDE12345, use the value migABCDE12345.

    Depending on your migrated resource and MPE ID, the tag value can be any of the following:

    • mig5-digit MPE ID

    • sap5-digit MPE ID

    • oracle5-digit MPE ID

    • mig10 alphanumeric MPE ID characters

    • sap10 alphanumeric MPE ID characters

    • oracle10 alphanumeric MPE ID characters

    Note

    Use lowercase letters for the mig, sap, and oracle prefixes and uppercase letters for the alphanumeric MPE IDs (long MPE IDs). For more information about what tag values you should use, see Tagging key combinations. For more information about your MPE ID, see MPE ID length.

  10. Choose Review.

  11. Choose Apply tag changes.
