[AWS] You can now tag EBS volumes when creating an EC2 instance

Hi, I'm Teraoka, an infrastructure engineer.
This time, I'd like to introduce a useful update, although it's not a major one: You
can now tag EBS volumes when creating an EC2 instance!

Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS add support for tagging resources on creation and resource-level permissions

■Before the update..

Until now, you could tag the EC2 instance itself, but you
could not tag the associated EBS volume.
In this situation, if the number of EBS volumes increases...

The tag section will be blank like this, and
it will be difficult to tell at a glance which EBS is linked to which instance. (
Of course, you can tag from the EBS list screen, but
it's a bit of a hassle to tag after creating the instance.)

■After the update!


, check boxes for "Instance" and "Volume" have been added
to the tagging screen Check both boxes to actually create an instance!

■Then..

Tags attached to EC2 instances

Tags attached to EBS

Both have the same tag!
Now you can tell at a glance what's going on in the management console!

Summary

It's just a small UI improvement and not a major update, but
it was a very welcome update for me!
If I find anything else that I find useful, I'll write an article about it.
