Syntax to add tags in aws eks create-cluster command

Question

Hello, Can you provide me the syntax for adding tags for creating eks clusters.

aws eks create-cluster --name $cluster_name  --role-arn $role --resources-vpc-config subnetIds=$private_subnet1,$private_subnet1 --tags Tags=[{Key=Name,Value=test1},{Key=Owner,Value=dddd},{Key=Project,Value=yyy},{Key=Environment,Value=Dev},{Key=Scheduling,Value=Automatic},{Key=Department,Value=bbb},{Key=kubernetes.io/cluster/aaa,Value=shared}]"

Answer

Hi,

For AWS EKS- i would recommend using eksctl  tool [1], . It is a command line tool for working with EKS clusters that automates many individual tasks. It will  create cloud formation  template and deploy cluster as per the options you  specify

The eksctl tag command is used to manage tags on EKS clusters and other resources created by eksctl.

The basic syntax for the eksctl tag command is:
eksctl tag --cluster= --resource= --tags

example

eksctl tag --cluster=my-cluster --resource=cluster --tags team=dev,env=test

eksctl tag --cluster=my-cluster --resource=nodegroup --tags dept=finance

Reference:

Thanks

The CLI documentation is a little confusing on this flag and maybe even wrong. This is what looks like passing multiple tags through cli --tags flag:

**--tags Key=Tag1,Value=Value1 Key=Tag2,Value=Value2**

Separate key,values with comma and one tag from another with space.

Let me know if this helps you! Have a nice day.
