Display instance tags in the SSH terminal list window

[khlumzeemee]

Hi,
showing which tags are available for each instance would make the use of the tag filter easier. The current use is to memorise some tags and write them as free text in the tag section (e.g.: Environment=Production)

This could be part 1 of a 2 part tag improvement story:

1. List the tags next to each instance (this issue)
2. Create a multi-selection dropdown list of all possible filters instead of the free text "Tag" field. (can be created as a separate issue).

Any thoughts or comments?

Well you can filter just by the tag name too, and not just tag=value.

Since you can have up to 50 tags for an single instance, it becomes a real estate issue showing the tags among the list of servers. It would also require it to make at least a call to DescribeTagsResult.describeTags for each region (maybe each instance) to compile the list of tags.

Should I try something out and submit a pull request?

Go for it!! as long as you can avoid making too many service calls to AWS (which I'm not sure about)
