[Too convenient] How to check resources in different regions in AWS at once

Nice to meet you, I'm Takkoni, an apprentice engineer

It's been six months since I moved from a different industry to Beyond, and lately I've been trying my hand at too many things and I feel like I'm a little lost

This may be a bit sudden, but when you're using AWS, you've probably had the experience of wanting to check your resources, but if they're located in multiple regions, it's a pain to click around on the console

we will introduce Tag Editor which solves this problem and allows you to check resources in different regions all at once on AWS

So let's get started!

What is a tag editor?

Tag Editor is a feature of AWS Resource Groups that allows you to tag multiple resources

Please refer to the AWS documentation for more details

Reference: Tag Editor User Guide

Originally, this feature was designed to tag multiple resources to make them easier to manage, but since the resource search function is very powerful, this time we will introduce how to use the tag editor to check resources from different regions all at once!

How to check all at once

Now that we've introduced the tag editor, we'll explain how to use it!

It's very easy, so please give it a try!

First, log in to the AWS Management Console

Search for "Tag Editor" in the search box at the top left and select Tag Editor

This is the tag editor screen

There are three fields to fill in: region, resource type, and tag

You can select multiple regions and resource types or select all of them, and you can search for resources with any Name tag; if you do not specify anything, all will be displayed

This can be summarized in a diagram like this

Let's try searching to see how many EC2 instances there are in all regions

The result looks like this. EC2 instances in all regions are displayed properly

In this way, you can search for any region, resource, or tag, and you can apply any tag to the resources that appear in the search results

summary

In summary, the advantages of tag editors are:

1. You can check resources that exist in multiple regions at once
2. You can add tags to resources displayed in search results

This is a great feature!
