Is this the full output? This a dictionary containing a list with nested dictionaries, so you should treat it that way. Suppose it is called:

A = {
    "Tags": [
        {
            "Key": "Name",
            "Value": "Trove-Dev-Inst : App WebServer"
        },
        {
            "Key": "aws:autoscaling:groupName",
            "Value": "CodeDeploy_Ernie-dev-Autoscaling-Deploy_d-4WTRTRTRT"
        },
        {
            "Key": "CodeDeployProvisioningDeploymentId",
            "Value": "d-4WTRTRTRT"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Environment",
            "Value": "ernie-dev"
        }
    ]
}

Your first adress the object, then its key in the dictionary, the index within the list and the key for that dictionary:

print(A['Tags'][1]['Value'])

Output:

CodeDeploy_Ernie-dev-Autoscaling-Deploy_d-4WTRTRTRT

EDIT: Based on what you are getting then you should try:

autoscaling_name = response['Reservations'][0]['Instances'][0]['Tags'][1]['Value']
