AWS Tag Policies

The pre-event activities for re:Invent are already getting underway this weekend and everyone here in Vegas is looking excited about the week ahead.

AWS Tag Policies

If you’re like us you have at some point written up a nice Markdown document for your team or your customer capturing the standard values that are acceptable for the tags you’ve defined for your AWS infrastructure. It’s not that hard, but of course it could be error-prone, so AWS have just introduced “Tag Policies” - think of this as a rules language or schema for defining acceptable keys and values. Once you’ve defined your tag policy then you can check all your tags to find any that don’t conform.
