AWS Cloudformation：如何使用用户名作为标签

Question

I need to create a Cloudformation Script for an ec2 instance which should have tags specifying among other things, the aws username of the person who ran the script to create the instance. What is the variable name to get the IAM Username? The tagging part of my script is shown below. Whereas the AccountId can be retrieved, I'm unable to get the username.

    Tags:
    - Key: Name
      Value: !Ref InstanceName
    - Key: team
      Value: !Ref Team
    - Key: awsAccount
      Value: !Sub ${AWS::AccountId}
    - Key: userName
      Value: !Sub ${AWS::IAM::User}
    - Key: purpose
      Value: !Ref Purpose

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no such pseudo parameter in CloudFormation. The list of all available parameters, such as AWS::AccountId is here .

One way around this is to create a parameter for your CloudFormation template (as you do with Purpose or team ), eg

Parameters:
    UserName:
      Type: String

and reference it in your Tags :

- Key: userName
  Value: !Ref UserName

Answer 2

One option is to use Service Catalog. The aws:servicecatalog:provisioningPrincipalArn auto tag will be added to all provisioned resources.
