Code:
#!/bin/bash

AMI_TAGS="env=prod,city=xxx,country=XXX"

AMI_TAGS="${AMI_TAGS//,/ Key#}"
AMI_TAGS="Key=${AMI_TAGS//=/,Value=}"
aws ec2 create-tags --resources ami-1234 --tags "${AMI_TAGS//#/=}"

Executing with "bash -x" gets:
Code:
+ AMI_TAGS=env=xxx,city=xxx,country=XXX
+ AMI_TAGS='env=xxx Key#city=xxx Key#country=XXX'
+ AMI_TAGS='Key=env,Value=xxx Key#city,Value=xxx Key#country,Value=XXX'
+ aws ec2 create-tags --resources ami-1234 --tags 'Key=env,Value=prod Key=city,Value=xxx Key=country,Value=XXX'

Notice the single quotes after the "--tags" keywork. Weirdly enough, amazon doesn't accept this format and the tags are not being set.

Tcl_PutEnv(3TCL)					      Tcl Library Procedures						  Tcl_PutEnv(3TCL)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Tcl_PutEnv - procedures to manipulate the environment

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tcl.h>

       int
       Tcl_PutEnv(string)

ARGUMENTS

       CONST char   *string	       (in)	 Info  about  environment  variable  in the form NAME=value.  The string argument is in the system
						 encoding.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Tcl_PutEnv sets an environment variable. The information is passed in a single string of the form NAME=value.  This procedure  is  intended
       to  be  a  stand-in  for the UNIX putenv system call. All tcl-based applications using putenv should redefine it to Tcl_PutEnv so that they
       will interface properly to the Tcl runtime.

KEYWORDS

       environment, variable
