Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

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 EC2 launch templates, EC2 applies system tags to the instances. You can use these tags to view and manage your Amazon ParallelCluster resources.

You can't modify Amazon system tags. In order to avoid impacts to Amazon ParallelCluster functionality, don't modify Amazon ParallelCluster tags.

The following is an example of an Amazon system tag for an Amazon ParallelCluster resource. You can't modify them.

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

The following is an example of an Amazon ParallelCluster tag applied to a resource. Don't modify them.

"parallelcluster:cluster-name"="clustername"

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

View tags

  1. Navigate the EC2 console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/ec2/.

  2. To view all cluster tags, choose Tags in the navigation pane.

  3. To view cluster tags by instance, choose Instances in the navigation pane.

  4. Select a cluster instance.

  5. Choose the Manage tags tab in the instance details and view the tags.

  6. Choose the Storage tab in the instance details.

  7. Select the Volume ID.

  8. In Volumes, choose the volume.

  9. Choose the Tags tab in the volume details and view the tags.
