Couldn't find any existing issue covering the lack of support for tags on EIP resources. Manual page for aws_eip resource supports finding that 'tags' is not supported.

Hey @whereisaaron According to this post, this feature was released nine days ago >> https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/12/amazon-virtual-private-cloud-vpc-now-allows-customers-to-tag-their-elastic-ip-addresses/ Not sure whether the latest version of the terraform AWS provider already supports it.

Thanks @arnoldokoth I didn't realize EIP tags were that new, but either way, be great to add support for them. I've been waiting so long for EIP tags (and SG rule descriptions), I want to use them immediately! :-)

v1.6.0 is the latest version of the AWS provider, but that was 12 days ago, so no chance they could be included. And I guess my feature request is best posted over on the provider repo.

I've moved this issue over to the AWS provider repo, so I'll close it here.

[arnoldokoth]

Haha, yeah @whereisaaron We've waited for that feature for too long! :-)

Moving it over to the provider repo makes perfect sense.

@arnoldokoth - EIP tags are going to be in the next AWS provider release in the New Year.

@whereisaaron Awesome! Thanks.

Support for search by tags is needed as well, so that we can find and re-attach eips to things like private VPN instances, etc. I encountered this today when realizing the data source aws_eip does not support the tags block:

RE: "invalid or unknown key: tags" from:

data "aws_eip" "get_eip" {
tags = {
"mytag_name" = "mytag_value"
}
}
output "eip_output" { value = "${data.aws_eip.get_eip.id}" }

@BlaineBradbury, I created a separate ticket for that: #17361
