Configure Labels

Aug 2017

When creating an EC2 Instance, there are some labels that can be set, these don't seem particularly important, until you have a lot of instances to manage, then you suddenly realise the value of these labels. If you have a lot of EC2 Instances and have not labelled them, you will have a hard time working out which EC2 Instance is performing what task(s).
Below is a single EC2 Instance in AWS, and you can see the two labels that are in the Terraform script.
