Overview

AWS Tag Policies is a feature within AWS Organizations that enables you to define rules on how tags can be used on AWS resources across your accounts. You can create policies that specify allowed tag keys and the permitted values for those keys. This helps you enforce a consistent tagging strategy for cost allocation, security, and automation.

✨ Key Features

  • Define and enforce tag standards
  • Specify allowed tag keys and values
  • Attach policies to the organization root, OUs, or individual accounts
  • Identify non-compliant tags

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Native integration with the AWS ecosystem
  • Part of the comprehensive AWS Organizations service

Unique Value: Provides centralized, native enforcement of tagging standards across an entire AWS Organization at no extra cost.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Enforcing cost allocation tags (e.g., CostCenter, Project) Implementing security policies based on tags (e.g., DataClassification) Automating operational tasks based on environment tags (e.g., Environment:Prod) Ensuring compliance with internal governance standards

✅ Best For

  • Standardizing tag usage across a multi-account AWS organization.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Multi-cloud tag management (AWS only)
  • Remediating existing non-compliant tags automatically (primarily prevents new non-compliance)
