Problem Statement: Use boto3 library in Python to add tags in AWS secret.
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1: Import boto3 and botocore exceptions to handle exceptions.
Step 2: secret_location and tags_dict are the required parameters in this function. tags_dict should be as {“key”:”value”,..}
Step 3: Create an AWS session using boto3 lib. Make sure region_name is mentioned in the default profile. If it is not mentioned, then explicitly pass the region_name while creating the session.
Step 4: Create an AWS client for secretmanager.
Step 5: Now use tag_resource function and pass the parameter secret_location as SecretId and tags_dict as Tags.
Step 6: It returns the response metadata and add tags in the resources.
Step 7: Handle the generic exception if something went wrong while adding tags.
Example Code
Use the following code to add tag −
import boto3 from botocore.exceptions import ClientError def add_tags_in_resource(secret_location, tags_dict) session = boto3.session.Session() client = session.client('secretmanager') try: response = client.tag_resource(SecretId= secret_location,Tags=tags_dict) return response except ClientError as e: raise Exception("boto3 client error in add_tags_in_resource: " + e.__str__()) except Exception as e: raise Exception("Unexpected error in add_tags_in_resource: " + e.__str__()) tags_dict = [{"Key":"secret-test","Value":"test"}] print(add_tags_in_resource("secrets/aws",tags_dict))
Output
{'ResponseMetadata': {'RequestId': 'c9f418b0-***************-fb96', 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'HTTPHeaders': {'date': 'Fri, 02 Apr 2021 08:04:54 GMT', 'content-type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.1', 'content-length': '27', 'connection': 'keep-alive', 'x-amzn-requestid': 'c9f418b0-******************-fb96'}, 'RetryAttempts': 0}}
