How to code for AWS tag values

Terraform
1

Terraform version : 1.8.1
AWS version : aws-cli/2.0.0 Python/3.7.5 Windows/10 botocore/2.0.0dev4

First post !

I’m in the process of writing a terraform module capturing known/standard AWS tag keys and values for an EC2 instance.

Apart from coding for the known company tag keys (ie name, dept, costcentre, environment etc) I need to provision for custom tags .. tags specific to that EC2 or team developing the pipeline

At this point, I wouldn’t know what the tag key would be .. how would I code for say 10 additional custom tag (placeholder) keys ?

Example
for 1 EC2 deployment, the tag key placeholder 1 could be ‘Function’ but for another, the same tag key placeholder 1 could be used to capture ‘Project Name’

Hopefully this makes sense .. would be interested in your response

Thanks

I don’t quite understand the question.

You could either allow for the user of the module to pass in tags as a map or object of some sort, or, if you need to be more opinionated, you could write support for the tags you know about now, and add any additional needed ones later.
