I don’t seem to be able to find a way to tag and query by rds instances by tag in Ansible.

It looks like this is only supported since the introduction of boto.rds2.

NB boto.rds2 is much simplified – all the instance variables are returned directly as a dictionary making ec2.py easy to update to provide instance groups by rds tags. However, I don’t see something like rds-add-tags-to-resource and friends.

Any any one working on an update?
