VM::EC2::Tag(3pm)

💖 VM::EC2::Tag 💖

okay bestie, so this is VM::EC2::Tag — a lil object that describes a tagged Amazon EC2 resource ✨ it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it is genuinely so slay for knowing what's tagged with what 🏷️

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, the whole vibe is this:

use VM::EC2;

$ec2       = VM::EC2->new(...);
@tags = $ec2->describe_tags(-filter=> {'resource-type'=>'volume'});
for my $t (@tags) {
   $id    = $t->resourceId;
   $type  = $t->resourceType;
   $key   = $t->key;
   $value = $t->value;
}

that's it. that's the energy. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this object is what you use to describe an Amazon EC2 tag 🎀 each one carries info about the resource it's tagging, the tag key, and the tag value. tags get handed to you by the VM::EC2->describe_tags() method, no cap.

ngl tho — most of the time you do NOT wanna touch this object directly 🙈 instead you'd:

• read tags by calling a resource object's tags() method, which returns a hash of key value pairs 👑
• or specify particular tag values as one of the filters in a describe_*() call ✨

that's the main character route, fr fr.

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

here's the lineup of object methods, all iconic:

• resourceId — the ID of the resource being tagged 💖
• resourceType — the type of the resource being tagged, e.g. "image" 🎀
• key — the tag key 🔑
• value — the tag value ⭐

---

💜 STRING OVERLOADING 💜

when you use this object in a string context, it will interpolate the resourceId 🪄 like it just knows what you meant. obsessed.
