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

Nice to meet you, I'm Takko, an apprentice engineer.

It's been half a year since I moved to Beyond from a different industry, and I've been dabbling in so many different things that I feel a little lost.

It may be a little sudden, but many of you have probably experienced this when using AWS: ``I want to check my resources, but if they are located in multiple regions, it's a pain to check them from the console one by one.''

we will introduce Tag Editor that solves such problems and allows you to check resources in different regions in AWS at once

So let's go right away!

*This article is information as of July 2023.

What is a tag editor?

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

Please check the AWS documentation for details.

Reference: Tag Editor User Guide

Originally, it was a function to tag multiple resources to make them easier to manage, but since the resource search function is very good, this time I will introduce how to use the tag editor to check resources in different regions at once. Masu!

How to check all at once

Now that we have introduced the tag editor, we will 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 window on the top left and select Tag Editor.

This is the tag editor screen.

There are three places to enter the region, resource type, and tag.

You can select multiple or all regions and resource types, and you can search for resources with any name tag, and if nothing is specified, all will be displayed.

This is what it looks like when summarized in a diagram.

Let's try searching for how many EC2 instances there are in all regions.

The result looked 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 add any tag to the resources that appear in the search results.

summary

To summarize, the advantages of the tag editor are:

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

It becomes. That's a great feature!
