PR #7454 Ignore AWS internals tags - RegEx matches all tags starting with aws not only aws:

[hashibot]

This issue was originally opened by @Dan1el42 as hashicorp/terraform#11939. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

I've discovered at work that the aws: tags filter introduced with v0.7.11 is unfortunately, matching all tags starting with aws because the regular expression is missing a dot before the greedy character.

Issue

We're using an internally developed service called awsns that is responsible for the registration of DNS records in our internal DNS system. We want to be able to modify the behaviour of our service and with a tag named awsns_optons. At the moment our tag is being ignored during the creation of resources but displayed in the plan output due to an incorrect regex in the tagsIgnore functions.

Fix

The fix is simple. Just replace the regular expression aws:* in all relevant files with aws:.* to ensure we're still ignoring aws:xyz tags but allow tags similar to ours to be created.

I'm happy to submit a PR to fix it if you agree.

Affected resources

All AWS resources supporting tags
