New in version 1.3.
Creates, removes and lists 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.

AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
