Today, AWS announced the ability to filter load balancers and target groups by tags in the Elastic Load Balancing Console. Tag-based filtering enables you to view only the load balancers and target groups that you are responsible for monitoring. It also reduces chances of making configuration changes to a wrong load balancer or target group not owned by your group. For example, if you have tagged your development stage load balancers as Stage: Dev and production stage load balancers as Stage: Prod, you can filter on tag Stage: Prod to view only the production stage load balancers. 

Tag based filtering is available today in all AWS regions. To learn more about tagging, see Tags for Your Application Load Balancer.
