Amazon VPC IPAM now supports tags on IPAM pool allocations

Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) Updates

Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) now supports tags on IPAM pool allocations, allowing customers to organize, govern, and control access to individual IP address allocations using the same tagging workflows they use across other AWS resources.

With this update, customers can tag allocations at creation time or add tags to existing allocations. These tags can be referenced in AWS Identity and Access Management and Service Control Policies, enabling centralized governance over IP address usage at scale.

For example, a network administrator can tag allocations by environment and enforce an IAM policy that allows only the production networking role to allocate from the pool, while development teams are restricted to development pools. Customers can also search and filter allocations by tag across all IPAM pools, making it faster to locate specific IP address ranges in large, multi-account environments.

What to do

• Create or update IPAM pool allocations with tags for better organization and governance.
• Reference these tags in IAM and SCP policies to enforce access controls.
• Search and filter allocations by tags to quickly locate specific IP address ranges.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where IPAM is available at no additional cost.
