Enforce tagging in ec2

Question

Created an IAM policy that should restrict user to now to allow ec2 instance creation when tags value not met

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AllowToDescribeAll", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:Describe*" ], "Resource": "" }, { "Sid": "AllowRunInstances", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "ec2:RunInstances", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:ec2:::image/", "arn:aws:ec2:::snapshot/", "arn:aws:ec2:::subnet/", "arn:aws:ec2:::network-interface/", "arn:aws:ec2:::security-group/", "arn:aws:ec2:::key-pair/" ] }, { "Sid": "AllowRunInstancesWithRestrictions", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:CreateVolume", "ec2:RunInstances" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:ec2:::volume/", "arn:aws:ec2:::instance/" ], "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:RequestTag/shutdown": "true", "aws:RequestTag/terminate": "true" }, "ForAllValues:StringEquals": { "aws:TagKeys": [ "shutdown", "terminate" ] } } }, { "Sid": "AllowCreateTagsOnlyLaunching", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:CreateTags" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:ec2:::volume/", "arn:aws:ec2:::instance/*" ], "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "ec2:CreateAction": "RunInstances" } } } ] }

Please check with the policy simulator at https://policysim.aws.amazon.com/home/index.jsp?#

With the following policy, I'm able to confirm that it works:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "AllowToDescribeAll",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:Describe*"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {
            "Sid": "AllowRunInstances",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "ec2:RunInstances",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:ec2:*::image/*",
                "arn:aws:ec2:*::snapshot/*",
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:subnet/*",
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:network-interface/*",
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:security-group/*",
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:key-pair/*"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "AllowRunInstancesWithRestrictions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:CreateVolume",
                "ec2:RunInstances"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:volume/*",
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:instance/*"
            ],
            "Condition": {
                "StringEquals": {
                    "aws:RequestTag/terminate": "true",
                    "aws:RequestTag/shutdown": "true"
                },
                "ForAllValues:StringEquals": {
                    "aws:TagKeys": [
                        "terminate",
                        "shutdown"
                    ]
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "Sid": "AllowCreateTagsOnlyLaunching",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:CreateTags"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:volume/*",
                "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:instance/*"
            ],
            "Condition": {
                "StringEquals": {
                    "ec2:CreateAction": "RunInstances"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}
