Add Provision to Name EMR EC2 Instances (Master and Core)

[kedar9696]

Is your request related to a new offering from AWS?

Is this functionality available in the AWS provider for Terraform? See CHANGELOG.md, too.

• No 🛑: The functionality is not currently available in the Terraform module I'm using, as there is no provision for naming EC2 instances within the module.

Is your request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am using the Terraform registry module (v.2.3.0) to create an EMR cluster, but the module doesn't provide an option to assign names to the EC2 instances (Master and Core). This makes it difficult to manage and identify the instances easily within AWS.

Describe the solution you'd like.

I would like to request that the module be updated to include a provision for assigning names to the EC2 instances (Master and Core) in the EMR cluster. This would help improve instance identification and management within the AWS environment.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I have not found an alternative solution within the module so far, and I'm not sure how to customize the code to assign names to the EC2 instances directly. If there's an existing method to do this, I'd appreciate guidance on how to implement it.

Additional context

This feature request is related to better instance management and naming consistency for the EC2 instances in the EMR cluster created using this Terraform module.

@bryantbiggs could you please provide some insights on this.

Sure, if you can show us how to achieve that. I don't see how that is possible from the current resources in the provider

closing for now - if you can find a way to tag instances through the AWS EMR APIs then let us know, we can see about supporting that here
