How can I list just my own AWS resources?

Asked By SkyWatcher92 On

I'm trying to find a way to identify all the AWS resources that I've personally created. I know others have asked this same question before, but the usual methods don't work for me. I tried using the Tag Editor, but it ends up showing resources that I didn't create, which seem to be default AWS ones. What I really want is a way to list only the resources I own. Am I asking too much here? Is there a straightforward way to accomplish this?

If you tag your resources properly at creation, finding them becomes a lot easier. A common practice is to label resources with tags like 'created-by' or 'owner', which you can then use for filtering in Cost Explorer. You might want to check out AWS's documentation on cost allocation tags for more info. There are also some built-in tags AWS can automatically apply, which might help you as well.

Got it! I noticed that when I give a resource a name, it shows up in Resource Explorer as "Tags 1". So if I filter by tagged resources, I might be able to see just mine.
