CreateTags

Focus mode
CreateTags - Amazon Elastic File System
Note

DEPRECATED - CreateTags is deprecated and not maintained. To create tags for EFS resources, use the TagResource API action.

Creates or overwrites tags associated with a file system. Each tag is a key-value pair. If a tag key specified in the request already exists on the file system, this operation overwrites its value with the value provided in the request. If you add the Name tag to your file system, Amazon EFS returns it in the response to the DescribeFileSystems operation.

This operation requires permission for the elasticfilesystem:CreateTags action.
