Tagging Amazon OpenSearch Serverless collections

Focus mode
Tagging Amazon OpenSearch Serverless collections - Amazon OpenSearch Service

Tags let you assign arbitrary information to an Amazon OpenSearch Serverless collection so you can categorize and filter on that information. A tag is a metadata label that you assign or that AWS assigns to an AWS resource.

Each tag consists of a key and a value. For tags that you assign, you define the key and value. For example, you might define the key as stage and the value for one resource as test.

With tags, you can identify and organize your AWS resources. Many AWS services support tagging, so you can assign the same tag to resources from different services to indicate that the resources are related. For example, you could assign the same tag to an OpenSearch Serverless collection that you assign to an Amazon OpenSearch Service domain.

In OpenSearch Serverless, the primary resource is a collection. You can use the OpenSearch Service console, the AWS CLI, the OpenSearch Serverless API operations, or the AWS SDKs to add, manage, and remove tags from a collection.

Permissions required

OpenSearch Serverless uses the following AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer (IAM) permissions for tagging collections:

  • aoss:TagResource

  • aoss:ListTagsForResource

  • aoss:UntagResource
