-When
+When creating an EC2 Instance, there are some labels that can be set, these don't seem particularly important, until you have a lot of instances to manage, then you suddenly realise the value of these labels. If you have a lot of EC2 Instances and have not labelled them, you will have a hard time working out which EC2 Instance is performing what task(s).
+\\
+\\
+Below is a single EC2 Instance in AWS, and you can see the label that is in the Terraform script.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :awslabels001c.jpg?500 |}}
+\\
+\\
+On the left we have 'Name' (click the image to enlarge it) This text label we can specify in our scripts. We can see this in the Terraform script below.
+\\
+<sxh text; first-line: 01; highlight: [13];>
+provider "aws" {
+        access_key = "JLJBK63HMPBC7DC150PA"
+        secret_key = "K7H2g33xPj6F7zBNcFGTeL5SlbjTsDNA/9nA2caa"
+        region = "eu-west-2"
+}
+resource "aws_instance" "example" {
+        ami = "ami-40a8bf24"
+        instance_type = "t2.micro"
+        key_name = "TestSvr"
+        security_groups= ["launch-wizard-1"]
+        tags {
+        Name = "terraform-instance"
+        }
+}
+</sxh>
+\\
+\\
+In the example script, I will use the following:
+\\
+<file>
+tags {
+Name = "terraform-instance"
+}
+</file>
