tagSpecifications

The tags to apply to the AMI and snapshots on creation. You can tag the AMI, the snapshots, or both.

  • To tag the AMI, the value for ResourceType must be image.

  • To tag the snapshots that are created of the root volume and of other Amazon EBS volumes that are attached to the instance, the value for ResourceType must be snapshot. The same tag is applied to all of the snapshots that are created.

If you specify other values for ResourceType, the request fails.

To tag an AMI or snapshot after it has been created, see CreateTags.
