Tags
Manage your indexes, data sources, and FAQs by assigning tags or labels. You can use tags to categorize your Amazon Kendra resources in various ways. For example, by purpose, owner, or application, or any combination. Each tag consists of a key and a value, both of which you define.
Tags help you to:
-
Identify and organize your AWS resources. Many AWS services support tagging, so you can assign the same tag to resources in different services to indicate that the resources are related. For example, you can tag an index and the Amazon Lex bot that uses the index with the same tag.
-
Allocate costs. You activate tags on the AWS Billing and Cost Management dashboard. AWS uses tags to categorize your costs and deliver a monthly cost allocation report to you. For more information, see Cost Allocation and Tagging in About AWS Billing and Cost Management.
-
Control access to your resources. You can use tags in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies that control access to Amazon Kendra resources. You can attach these policies to an IAM role or user to activate tag-based access control. For more information, see Authorization based on tags.
You can create and manage tags using the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the Amazon Kendra API.
