Add generation of tagging operations of resource selection

Open eriklz opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

It would be nice to extend the functionality of former2 to include the ability to generate code/scripts to apply tags on resources. The AWS Resource Group Tag Editor in the AWS Management Console is better than going to each individual resource, but still has a user experience with room for improvements.

With Former2 you could create CloudFormation stacks for manually created resources and then apply resource tagging on the stack itself, to apply the same tags to the whole stack. However, it would be nice also to have the user experience of Former2 to pick relevant resources and then generate code or script command(s) (AWS CLI or AWS Tools for PowerShell) to tag the selected resources. The resource groups tagging API wants a list of ARNs for all the resources that get a specific tag.

Hey @eriklz,

That's slightly outside the scope of Former2 right now, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.
