AWS::EC2::LaunchTemplate LaunchTemplateData - PropagateTagsToVolumeOnCreation

Description

Now that PropagateTagsToVolumeOnCreation is available on AWS::EC2::Instance resource (#133), it would be nice to expose this in AWS::EC2::LaunchTemplate LaunchTemplateData for the instances running in ASG. Tag propagation to underlying EBS volumes is a very important feature to us. About 90% of our launched solutions are EC2 instances being launched through ASG.

@WaelA Any chance you can expedite this one now that #133 is in place?

@WaelA @zjinmei Any updates on this? I assume LaunchConfiguration support in #1006 won't be considered given that LC is going away and LaunchTemplates are becoming a standard? Thanks in advance.

@WaelA

PropagateTagsToVolumeOnCreation is missing in @aws-sdk/client-ec2 RunInstancesCommand

[tivanov-qb]

@zjinmei @WaelA are there any plans to fix this in near future ?

Hello @tivanov-qb
You can achieve the goal by using TagSpecification https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ec2-launchtemplate-tagspecification.html#cfn-ec2-launchtemplate-tagspecification-resourcetype

@bhaum500 was this recently fixed ? goal is tags to be propagated automatically to the ebs volumes

[bhaum500]

Hello @tivanov-qb
was looking for options like PropagateTagsToVolumeOnCreation to propagate tags automatically to the ebs volume, and got the above reference to add tags.
And do you know any other better option to add tags at EBS level?
Note: I am not from AWS Team 😄

@bhaum500 to work around the problem, i've developed lambda function that automatically tags our ebs volumes.
