Answer

Creating an EC2 instance provides multiple options to name your instance as well as allocate tags. When an instance is launched, the name can be assigned to the instance as seen in this image. Enter image description here

Then you can create additional tags by clicking on the link next to the text box of instance name. Enter image description here
