i m trying to alter the tags on the subnets made by the awsx

Question

i m trying to alter the tags on the subnets made by the awsx ec2 Vpc class but struggling to figure out how that s done in python and haven t had any luck in finding anything that isn t in typescript Can anyone give any pointers on how that s done It doesn t seem to form part of the SubnetSpecArgs class so i guess it s done in some other way The typescript seems to access a subnets attribute of the class but that doesn t seem to be a thing in python unless i m misreading the source

AWSX and all other convenience wrappers will necessarily expose a smaller number of configuration options than the resources they re built on If setting subnet tags via the Vpc constructor isn t possible and it likely isn t then you can use a transformation to achieve the same thing

hmm thanks for that Apparently that s going to be beyond my brain power to pull off but thanks for the pointer +1

It s not hard I m happy to help

You define a function that adds tags to subnets it ll be very like the one in the example code on that page but only checking for `args type == aws ec2 subnet Subnet ` and setting `tags` instead of `ignore changes`

Then you pass that function as a transformation to your awsx ec2 Vpc constructor just like in the last line of the example code

i think the things that tripped me up was 1 what myvpccomponent was meant to be possibly because i dont know what a component is in the first place if thats a thing and 2 i m going to need to set the tags on the subnets differently based on which type of subnet it is and this seems to be returning a single value which would include the tags So somewhere in there i m going to need to lookup what type of subnet it is

If the logic is too complex this suggests to be that you shouldn t be using awsx ec2 Vpc You d be better off with the additional control you get from aws ec2 Vpc

yeah ok makes sense +1

It s the old convention over configuration thing slightly smiling face Once you re configuring your conventionally created resources yeah nah As we say here in New Zealand
