The Challenge: Adding tags to 10 ec2 instances
In this opening round, we tackle the task of applying the tag "Owner": "Cyril" to 10 ec2 instances roles, comparing the workflow between AWS and Tailwarden.
AWS Method:
Steps to update one ec2 instance:
Open ec2.
Click on instances.
Look for a given instance.
Realize it's in another region.
Realize it's already annoying to do that.
Change region.
Look for the instance.
Open it.
Click on the "Tags" tab.
Click on "Add new tag".
Click again on "Add new tag" (yes, it’s repetitive 😒).
Type "owner" then "Cyril".
Realize that it was "Owner" with a capital O, not "owner". Correct it.
Click on "Save Changes".
It took you 10 steps just to update one ec2 instance. Now, multiply that effort by 10 roles—it’s clear we need a better way.
