Day 15/30: “Who created this server?”

Nobody knows.

“What does it do?”

Also nobody knows.

“Can we delete it?”

Suddenly, everybody is nervous.

AWS tags help label resources by project, environment, owner, department or cost centre.

A simple tagging standard makes reporting, automation, security and cost management easier.

Useful tags might include:

Project
Environment
Owner
CostCentre

If your naming strategy is “we will remember,” I have unfortunate news about human memory.
