Adding tags to Amazon MQ resources

To organize and identify your Amazon MQ resources for cost allocation, you can add metadata tags that identify the purpose of a broker or configuration. This is especially useful when you have many brokers. You can use cost allocation tags to organize your AWS bill to reflect your own cost structure. To do this, sign up to get your AWS account bill to include the tag keys and values. For more information, see Setting Up a Monthly Cost Allocation Report in the AWS Billing User Guide.

For instance, you could add tags that represent the cost center and purpose of your Amazon MQ resources:

Resource Key Value
Broker1 Cost Center 34567
Stack Production
Broker2 Cost Center 34567
Stack Production
Broker3 Cost Center 12345
Stack Development

This tagging scheme allows you to group two brokers performing related tasks in the same cost center, while tagging an unrelated broker with a different cost allocation tag.

Adding tags in the Amazon MQ Console

You can quickly add tags to the resources you are creating in the Amazon MQ console by following these steps:

  1. From the Create a broker page, select Additional settings.

  2. Under Tags, select Add tag.

  3. Enter a Key and Value pair.

  4. (Optional) Select Add tag to add multiple tags to your broker.

  5. Select Create broker.

To add tags as you create a configuration:

  1. From the Create configuration page, select Advanced.

  2. Under Tags on the Create configuration page, select Add tag.

  3. Enter a Key and Value pair.

  4. (Optional) Select Add tag to add multiple tags to your configuration.

  5. Select Create configuration.

After adding tags, you can view, edit, and remove the tags for your resources in the Amazon MQ console. You can also view the tags of your resources using the REST API. For more information, see the Amazon MQ REST API Reference.
