Tagging of cloud resources is a critical foundation for your cloud governance initiatives. By using cloud tags to add metadata that is specific to your organization, you can better categorize each of your cloud resources for a variety of governance purposes.
In Tagging Best Practices for Cloud Governance and Cost Management, we provide a global tagging strategy and a matrix of tag requirements from the major public cloud providers to help with such governance purposes as:
- Cost allocation
- Reporting
- Chargeback and showback
- Cost optimization
- Compliance
- Security
- … and more
