ec2_tag - create and remove tag(s) to ec2 resources.

Author:Lester Wade

Synopsis

New in version 1.3.

Creates and removes tags from any EC2 resource. The resource is referenced by its resource id (e.g. an instance being i-XXXXXXX). It is designed to be used with complex args (tags), see the examples. This module has a dependency on python-boto.
