ec2_launch_template: Allow tags for just instance or volume
SUMMARY
The current tags option will set the tags on both the instances and volumes created by the launch template. The interferes with use by EC2 Fleet, and generally it would be better if we could specify tags for instances and volumes independently.
ISSUE TYPE
- Feature Idea
COMPONENT NAME
ec2_launch_template
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Launch templates that tag volumes, unfortunately, does not work with EC2 Fleet. The policy for the AWSServiceRoleForEC2Fleet service role does not have permission to create tags on volumes (and both the policy and role are not editable, so the permission cannot be granted). The net effect is that if you use Ansible to create the launch template, and you use tags, then you can't use that launch template with EC2 Fleet.
I'm thinking that new instance_tags and volume_tags could be added to tag instances and volumes independently.
