Amazon Web Services tags can be used to add AWS resources to one or more Opal groups. After adding the appropriate AWS tag, the AWS resource will be added to the Opal group, via automatic or manual syncing. To identify the Opal group you want to add, you will need its Group ID: this can be found by navigating to the group of interest and inspecting the URL. For example, an Opal group with the URL https://app.opal.dev/groups/9a8ecbac-ccc9-47a1-9d0d-1325e8db60ed#overview has a Group ID of 9a8ecbac-ccc9-47a1-9d0d-1325e8db60ed. The following syntax for AWS tagging is used for each type of resource. Each tag consists of a key and a value.
