Support for tags read from file - create change set

Open JohGiz opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Using AWS cli you have the option to create a change-set and specify tags from json-file.

This makes it possible to version control tags and have them committed in repository along with the other parameters.

In the current create-change-set tool you can choose to have the parameters inline or read from local file. This option should also be available for Tags.

Would you envision this only for create-change-set or a broader feature for tasks that create services?

This should be consequent for all places having tags, like create-stack. We have been using a custom script that uses cli-commands and then reads parameters and tags using --tags file:// when creating a change-set. With this solution we can have all parameters and tags committed in our repo.

With the option to read parameters from inline or from file in the current aws-vsts-tools works great. Having the exact same options for tags would solve that also our tags in our repo can be used when deploying with aws-vsts-tools.

I like the idea, and this would make a lot of sense on any create operation.
