I am using the aws module to import EC2 instances.  
I have a tag set in AWS (rcs:platform\_identity) with the value set to exclude.  
I do not want the EC2 instances with this value to be imported.

Can anyone offer any guidance on how and where I can add a rule in Director to exclude those instances from Import?
