auto-tag
Automatically tags AWS resources on creation with creator ARN, creation time, and invoked service for cost allocation and governance.
What is auto-tag?
AutoTag is an open-source solution that automatically applies tags to AWS resources immediately upon creation. It uses CloudTrail events delivered via CloudWatch Events to trigger a Lambda function, which tags the resource with metadata like the creator's ARN, creation timestamp, and the invoking AWS service. This enables better cost allocation, governance, and resource management across AWS environments.
AWS administrators, cloud engineers, and DevOps teams responsible for managing multi-account AWS environments who need automated resource tagging for cost tracking and compliance.
Developers choose AutoTag for its lightweight, AWS-native architecture that integrates seamlessly with CloudTrail and Lambda, offering cost-efficient operation through event filtering and flexible custom tagging via JSON-based variable substitution from CloudTrail events.
