The New Resource Groups Tagging API Makes It Easier to Programmatically Manage Tags on Resources Across AWS Services

Today, we made available the new Resource Groups Tagging API, which makes it easier for you to use tags to centrally organize, discover, allocate costs, and control access to AWS resources. The API’s five operations enable you to programmatically tag and untag resources, list resources with a specific tag, and list unique tag keys across multiple AWS services. With this new API, you can now programmatically use AWS resource group and Tag Editor functionality. This makes it easier for you to implement automated tools to manage, search, and filter tags and resources across AWS services.

CloudWatch Alarms releases two new alarm configuration settings

Today, Amazon CloudWatch is excited to announce that CloudWatch Alarms now has two new settings to configure alarms on metrics with sparse data or with low sample counts. With the first setting, you have the option to treat missing metric data as good (alarm threshold not breached), bad (alarm threshold breached), maintain the alarm state or use the current default treatment. For example, you can use the treat missing data as good setting for alarms on HTTPCode_ELB_5XX_Count metric. This will ensure that you get alerted only when there are consecutive ELB server errors and not when the errors are sporadic.

Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS add support for tagging resources upon creation and additional resource-level permissions

You can now tag your Amazon EC2 Instances and Amazon EBS Volumes upon creation. You can do this from the EC2 Instance launch wizard or through the RunInstances or CreateVolume APIs. By tagging resources at the time of creation, you can eliminate the need to run custom tagging scripts after resource creation. In addition, you can now set resource-level permissions on the CreateVolume, CreateTags, DeleteTags, and the RunInstances APIs. This allows you to implement stronger security policies by giving you more granular control over who has access to these APIs. You can also enforce the use of tagging and control which tag keys and values are set on your resources.
