EC2 gives you the ability to assign meaningful metadata to your resources using tags, which are simple key-value pairs. We use tags quite a bit here at Ylastic, and needed a way to do tagging for multiple resources across all regions. We also wanted something that was easy on the eyes, and reduced the drudgery of mass tagging. Tags, something visual, simple to use - Tagcloud!
The terms in the cloud are displayed in a font that is weighted to visually indicate the number of times it occurs in your tag values. The terms will start moving around the cloud if your mouse is inside the tag cloud, and will stop when the mouse leaves the cloud. Click a value to get a grouped display of all matching EC2 resources with that tag value. Did we mention it will display all matching resources, across all regions? Click a group heading to go to the corresponding Ylastic page for that resource type.
Tag a whole bunch of resources with a click.
Click a button to edit a tag value and apply the change to all matching resources, across regions. If you have multiple keys with the same value, you can pick the key that you want to change :-)
Removing a tag is as simple as clicking a button.
Tags are very cool, manage them the easy way !
