#1683 Question: AWS EC2 Image Tags
Closed: Fixed with Explanation by arrfab. Opened by lrossett.

Hello,

I noticed that our EC2 images use specific tags such as "FedoraGroup" and "Delete".

Are those tags documented anywhere? I am specially curious about the "delete" tag, since the "vm_import_image" role can't deregister an EC2 image.


hi @lrossett
As it's all hosted/running in the Fedora AWS account, it's partially documented :

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/sysadmin_guide/aws-access/#_role_and_user_policies

Resources not tagged with a FedoraGroup key/value pair will be deleted (check on fedora-infra list and you'll see monthly reports and things that are deleted when untagged)

For the Delete one, iirc, that's a lamba script that automatically checks for a value for that tag, and so delete automatically resources after mentioned time.
I remember it was discussed but can't find that on the fedora infra doc unfortunately, but was able to find the mail sent to fedora-infra to explain it :
