Amazon ParallelCluster resources and tagging

With Amazon ParallelCluster you can create tags to track and manage your Amazon ParallelCluster resources. You define the tags that you want Amazon CloudFormation to create and propagate to all cluster resources in the Tags section of the cluster configuration file. You can also use tags that Amazon ParallelCluster automatically generates to track and manage your resources.

When you create a cluster, the cluster and its resources are tagged with the Amazon ParallelCluster and Amazon systems tags defined in this section.

Amazon ParallelCluster applies tags to the cluster instances, volumes, and resources. To identify the cluster stack, Amazon CloudFormation applies Amazon system tags to the cluster instances. To identify the cluster Amazon EC2 launch templates, Amazon EC2 applies system tags to the instances. You can use these tags to view and manage your Amazon ParallelCluster resources.

Warning

All Amazon ParallelCluster tags are essential and must not be modified in order to avoid impacts to system functionality. Because of this, you can't modify Amazon system tags.

The following is an example of an Amazon system tag for an Amazon ParallelCluster resource. 

"aws:cloudformation:stack-name"="clustername"

The following is an example of an Amazon ParallelCluster tag applied to a resource.

"parallelcluster:cluster-name"="clustername"

You can view these tags in the Amazon EC2 section of the Amazon Web Services Management Console.
