Hello there - I am using aws-typescript. Doing first basic provisioning of EC2 instances, and the name of the instances is not getting set on creation? I would assume the resource name is used as the VM name? no other args to tap into to be able to set the EC2 instances name either as far as I can tell.

This is an AWS "thing". To set the name you need to add a tag called

Name

on your EC2 instance

Glad it worked 🙂
