Managing your cost allocation tags using the MemoryDB API

You can use the MemoryDB API to add, modify, or remove cost allocation tags.

Cost allocation tags are applied to MemoryDB for clusters. The cluster to be tagged is specified using an ARN (Amazon Resource Name).

Sample arn: arn:aws:memorydb:us-east-1:1234567890:cluster/my-cluster

Listing tags using the MemoryDB API

You can use the MemoryDB API to list tags on an existing resource by using the ListTags operation.

The following code uses the MemoryDB API to list the tags on the resource my-cluster in the us-east-1 region.

https://memory-db.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
   ?Action=ListTags
   &ResourceArn=arn:aws:memorydb:us-east-1:0123456789:cluster/my-cluster
   &SignatureVersion=4
   &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
   &Version=2021-01-01
   &Timestamp=20210802T192317Z
   &X-Amz-Credential=<credential>

Adding tags using the MemoryDB API

You can use the MemoryDB API to add tags to an existing MemoryDB cluster by using the TagResource operation. If the tag key does not exist on the resource, the key and value are added to the resource. If the key already exists on the resource, the value associated with that key is updated to the new value.

The following code uses the MemoryDB API to add the keys Service and Region with the values memorydb and us-east-1 respectively to the resource my-cluster in the us-east-1 region.

https://memory-db.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
   ?Action=TagResource
   &ResourceArn=arn:aws:memorydb:us-east-1:0123456789:cluster/my-cluster
   &SignatureVersion=4
   &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
   &Tags.member.1.Key=Service 
   &Tags.member.1.Value=memorydb
   &Tags.member.2.Key=Region
   &Tags.member.2.Value=us-east-1
   &Version=2021-01-01
   &Timestamp=20210802T192317Z
   &X-Amz-Credential=<credential>

For more information, see TagResource.

Modifying tags using the MemoryDB API

You can use the MemoryDB API to modify the tags on a MemoryDB cluster.

To modify the value of a tag:

Output from either operation will be a list of tags and their values on the specified resource.

Removing tags using the MemoryDB API

You can use the MemoryDB API to remove tags from an existing MemoryDB cluster by using the UntagResource operation.

The following code uses the MemoryDB API to remove the tags with the keys Service and Region from the cluster my-cluster in region us-east-1.

https://memory-db.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
   ?Action=UntagResource
   &ResourceArn=arn:aws:memorydb:us-east-1:0123456789:cluster/my-cluster
   &SignatureVersion=4
   &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
   &TagKeys.member.1=Service
   &TagKeys.member.2=Region
   &Version=2021-01-01
   &Timestamp=20210802T192317Z
