Use tags to organize your Lightsail resources
After you tag your Amazon Lightsail resources, you can filter your resources by the tags you have added. You do this in the Lightsail console by choosing or searching for a tag. This guide shows you how to view and filter your Lightsail resources by tags.
Note
For more information about tags, what resources can be tagged, and tag restrictions, see Tags.
View tags for a resource
Instances, container services, CDN distributions, buckets, databases, disks, DNS zones, and load balancers can be tagged using the Lightsail console and therefore contain a Tags tab. That tab is accessible through the resource’s management page, as shown in the following example for an instance resource. On the Tags tab, you can add, edit, or delete tags. For more information, see Add tags to a resource, and Delete tags.
Note
Instances, container services, CDN distributions, buckets, databases, disks, DNS zones, and load balancers can be tagged using the Lightsail console. However, more Lightsail resources can be tagged using the Lightsail API operations, or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or SDKs. For a full list of Lightsail resources that support tagging, see Tags.
Filter resources using tags
The following options are available in the Lightsail console to filter your resources using tags. All of these options refresh the Lightsail home page to display only the tag that you searched for or selected.
Note
These filtering options are persistent. If you filter by a tag, and then navigate between sections of the Lightsail home page, the filter is still applied.
-
On the Lightsail home page, enter the key-only tag or the value that you want to filter by into the Search text box, and press Enter.
-
Choose a tag that is displayed under a resource on the Lightsail home page.
-
Choose a tag that is displayed in the heading of a resource.
