<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi Justin,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">It was a bug in AWS us-east-1 region which was fixed after a couple of days. The user data attribute of instances launched using one API call was empty (on except the one with ami launch index = 0). As a result the instances launched had no 'alias' tag.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">It might be worth exploring if the dependence on user data attribute for tag setting can be removed. Have seen a couple of times in the past when fetch of user data attribute did not exceed (with few retries) due to may be API latency issues at AWS end.</div>
