It's time for Tagbot's
take on tagging.

At Tagbot, we’ve found there is often a general lack of knowledge around tagging and how it can be used to effectively manage resources on AWS.

Companies deploying resources on AWS should implement best-practices in their tagging efforts, and a simple tool that could provide them with right information, insights, and guidelines would be very useful... Tagbot is the tool we’ve built to do just that...

Tagging resources on AWS.
Not just an afterthought.

A strategic approach to tagging and rigorous enforcement of tagging policies provides AWS users with the necessary visibility to effectively identify, track and manage their resources on AWS. This in turn helps optimize expenses while improving the ROI of their cloud deployments, and provides an effective means of allocating expenses to the correct cost centers. Effective tagging is thus indispensable for companies interested in optimizing and allocating their cloud costs on AWS.

Why use tags on AWS?

Keeping track of cloud resources is often an afterthought during deployment, and especially as cloud environments get larger teams often struggle with the ongoing management, accounting and reporting of their infrastructure. Cross-business unit or multi-team projects, the use of multiple regions and platforms and other complexity factors can all further exacerbate the issue.. As a result, the larger a cloud deployment gets, the harder it becomes for teams to effectively monitor their resources. Effective tagging is the tool to address the problem...

Tags allow companies to manage their AWS cloud deployments at scale by providing the necessary visibility to effectively oversee their deployed resources.

Implemented correctly, tags provide visibility of the precise resources at play at any given time, who are using them, and the business purpose for which these resources were created.
