Adding hard-coded or other custom tags about auto-tag HOT 5 CLOSED

I think I've added this feature to master via #74. Please check out the updates to the README-Custom Tags section and the examples.

Right now if you use the deploy-autotag.sh script you can run 'update-master' and it will deploy with this new code for you.

If you'd like to populate the AZ for an EC2 instance you would supply something like this to the
--custom-tags parameter:

{
  "AutoTag_EC2_AZ": "$event.responseElements.instancesSet.items.0.placement.availabilityZone"
}

Let me know how it goes!

from auto-tag.

Where is the value for this tag going to come from?

I've talked about how to add more global tags here: #35 (comment)

I suppose we could talk about adding this in a way where you don't have to edit the code...if that is what you are looking for.

I didn't really get an answer so I'm going to close this, let me know if you can clarify what you are trying to do.

That would be awesome, or even if we only had to edit in one place. Especially if there were various variables we could use in generating the values (e.g. availability_zone for an ec2 instance).

Check this feature out in 0.5.3
