    Resource Management:Use OOS to add tags to multiple ECS instances at a time

    Last Updated:Jan 12, 2024

    You can create an execution to add tags to multiple Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances that reside in the same region by using a public template provided by CloudOps Orchestration Service (OOS). This helps improve O&M efficiency.

    Background information

    In this example, the public template ACS-ECS-BulkyTagInstances provided by OOS is used to add the tag CostCenter:Hangzhou to ECS instances that reside in the China (Hangzhou) region.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the OOS console.

    2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Automated Task > Public Template.

    3. In the top navigation bar, select the desired region.

      Note

      By default, OOS deployed in a region can be used to manage resources only in this region. For example, OOS deployed in the China (Hangzhou) region can be used to manage ECS instances only in this region. However, OOS provides a method to manage resources deployed in other regions. If you want to call API operations in other regions, specify the region ID in the ACS::ExecuteAPI action. We recommend that you do not use this method. Therefore, in this example, you must make sure that the region in which OOS is deployed is the same as the region in which the ECS instances you want to manage reside. For more information about the limits on OOS, see Limits.

    4. On the Public Template page, find ACS-ECS-BulkyTagInstances and click Create Execution.

    5. In the Basic Information step, configure the parameters and click Next Step: Parameter Settings.

      In this example, default values are retained for the parameters in the Basic Information step.

      Note

      The default value of Execution Mode is Automatic, which indicates that all tasks defined in the template are automatically run in sequence.

    6. In the Parameter Settings step, configure the parameters and click Next Step: OK.

      1. In the Configure Parameters section, specify the tags that you want to add to ECS instances. In this example, the tag CostCenter:Hangzhou is specified.

      2. In the Select Ecs Instances section, select the region in which the desired ECS instances reside and select the ECS instances to which you want to add the tag.

        In this example, all ECS instances in the China (Hangzhou) region are selected.

      3. In the Control Options section, retain default values for all parameters in RateControl and the default value for the OOSAssumeRole parameter.

    7. In the OK step, confirm the settings and click Create.

    View the result

    If the execution status that is displayed for the execution on the Executions page is Success, the tag CostCenter:Hangzhou is added to the ECS instances. You can also check whether the tag is added to a specific ECS instance on the Instances page in the ECS console.
