How to use Boto3 to remove tags in specified AWS secrets
Problem Statement: Use boto3 library in Python to remove tags in AWS secret.
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1: Import boto3 and botocore exceptions to handle exceptions.
Step 2: secret_location and tags_list are the required parameters in this function. tags_list should be the list of keys to be untaged.
Step 3: Create an AWS session using boto3 lib. Make sure region_name is mentioned in the default profile. If it is not mentioned, then explicitly pass the region_name while creating the session.
Step 4: Create an AWS client for secretmanager.
Step 5: Now use the untag_resource function and pass the parameter secret_location as SecretId and tags_list as TagKeys.
Step 6: It returns the response metadata and removes tags in the resources.
Step 7: Handle the generic exception if something went wrong while removing tags.
Example Code
Use the following code to remove tags −
import boto3 from botocore.exceptions import ClientError def remove_tags_in_resource(secret_location, tags_list) session = boto3.session.Session() client = session.client('secretmanager') try: response = client.untag_resource(SecretId= secret_location,TagKeys=tags_list) return response except ClientError as e: raise Exception("boto3 client error in remove_tags_in_resource: " + e.__str__()) except Exception as e: raise Exception("Unexpected error in remove_tags_in_resource: " + e.__str__()) tags_dict = ["secret-test"] print(remove_tags_in_resource("secrets/aws",tags_dict))
Output
{'ResponseMetadata': {'RequestId': 'c9f418b0-***************-fb96', 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'HTTPHeaders': {'date': 'Fri, 02 Apr 2021 08:04:54 GMT', 'content-type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.1', 'content-length': '27', 'connection': 'keep-alive', 'x-amzn-requestid': 'c9f418b0-******************-fb96'}, 'RetryAttempts': 0}}
