How to Add tags to all the resources that are being created

[ismailcool5152]

Hi Guys,

we are trying to deploy this solution in prod but it seems by default there are no tags being added to the resources.

Is there a way we can add Tags to all the resources which are being created ?

Have you tried using cdk.Tags.of(runner).add()?

Hi Kichik,

I am not sure in which exact file or at what time , i need to use above command .

I am using TS to define my resources and then i am using

npm run build
npx cdk deploy --tags uai=uai3064620 --require-approval never

To deploy the stack. At what point and at what file we need to add cdk.Tags.of(runner).add()
And how ? Any example that you could provide ?

I don't think --tags is a parameter that cdk deploy accepts. Here is a basic example with TypeScript:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { App, Stack } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { GitHubRunners } from '@cloudsnorkel/cdk-github-runners';

const app = new App();
const stack = new Stack(app, 'github-runners');
const runners = new GitHubRunners(stack, 'runners');
cdk.Tags.of(runner).add('mytag', 'myvalue');

app.synth();

More info about tags in CDK here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/tagging.html
