Automatically add resources using tags

When you create an application, you can bulk-onboard resources by specifying an existing tag key-value pair. With this method, AWS automatically applies the awsApplication tag to all of the resources, and creates a tag-sync for the application’s resources by default. With tag-sync enabled, any resources that are tagged with the specified tag key-value pair are automatically added to the application.

To add resources using existing tags

  1. Open the AWS Management Console.

  2. In the left sidebar of the console, choose myApplications.

  3. Choose Manage resources.

  4. Choose Create tag-sync.

  5. Select an existing tag key and value:

    1. Select the Role used to tag resources. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/overview-appreg.html#tag-sync-role in the AWS Service Catalog AppRegistry Administrator Guide.

    2. Select a Tag key.

    3. Select a Tag value.

    4. Review and accept the I acknowledge that Group Lifecycle Events will be enabled to create a tag sync notice. GLE allows AWS to notice changes to the resources tagged with your key-value pair.

  6. Choose Create tag sync.
