Tag-Based Resources in AWS
In AWS (Amazon Web Services), Tag-based resources are resources that can be labeled with metadata known as tags. Tags are key-value pairs that provide additional information about AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, S3 buckets, IAM roles, and many others.
Tagging resources is helpful for several reasons, including:
Resource management: Tags enable you to organize and manage resources based on various criteria, such as environment, purpose, owner, etc.
Cost allocation: Tags can be allocated to different departments or projects. AWS offers a cost explorer to help you track and analyze your AWS costs.
Automation: Tags can automate tasks, such as backups, snapshots, and resource termination, based on specific criteria.
You can tag resources in AWS using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. You can add, edit, or delete tags on resources at any time.
