Create EC2 instance without and with Tags that meet conditions

Create EC2 instance without and with Tags that meet conditions

1. In this step, we will create an EC2 that does not meet the tag requirements according to the ec2-create-tags-existing policy created. This will cause the instance creation to fail. Then we will correct the tag according to the requirements and create the instance successfully.

   • Log in to AWS EC2 Console and access EC2 service in us-east-1 (North Virginia) via the URL - https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1.

   • In the left navigation bar, select Instances and click Launch instances button.

2. Try using INCORRECT Resource Tag to test, select Add additional tags:
   • Select Add new tag
   • Key = Name and Value = Example
   • Key = Team and Value = Beta

3. Use default configuration t2.micro. Select Proceed without a keypair

4. Proceed to configure Network.

   • After configuration is complete, review and select Launch instance

5. On the Launch Status page, we will receive an error Launch Failed.

   • Thus the 3rd test has passed. Click Edit instance config.

6. Now, we will try using CORRECT Resource Tag to test.
   • We will edit the tag correctly.
   • Key = Name and Value = Example
   • Key = Team and Value = Alpha
   • Select Launch instance.

7. And this time we successfully launch.
