Amazon VPC IPAM now supports tags on IPAM pool allocations

Posted on: May 18, 2026

Today, we announced the ability for Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) to support tags on IPAM pool allocations, enabling customers to organize, govern, and control access to individual IP address allocations using the same tagging workflows they use across other Amazon Web Services resources.

Using IPAM pool allocation tags, you can tag allocations at creation time or add tags to existing allocations. These tags can be referenced in Identity and Access Management and Service Control Policies, enabling centralized governance over IP address usage at scale. For example, a network administrator can tag allocations by environment and enforce an IAM policy that allows only the production networking role to allocate from the pool, while development teams are restricted to development pools. Previously, allocations could not be tagged, making it difficult to enforce fine-grained access control or quickly locate specific IP address ranges across large, multi-account environments. IPAM pool allocation tags enable customers to search and filter allocations by tag across all IPAM pools, requiring no additional workarounds.

This feature is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
