awsc.base_control.tag_finder_generator

awsc.base_control.tag_finder_generator(tagname, default='', taglist_key='Tags')

Generates a predicate function which can locate a tag in a raw AWS object. Useful if certain important fields are actually just tags. I’m looking at you, EC2 instance names.

Parameters:

tagnamestr

The name of the tag to find.

defaultstr, default=””

The default value of the tag, if not found.

taglist_keystr, default=”Tags”

The name for the list of tags in the object. Believe it or not, this is less than consistent among the AWS services.

Returns:

callable(dict-like) -> str

A function which finds a tag in a dict-like object when called.
