Web App Tags


A couple of areas that we need to cover before moving forward with our WebApp development.  The first is the use of Tags.  Tags are an important tool for managing and grouping resources. 
For all resources you should consider adding Tags for cost management, and automation.  The following are some possible Tags to add to your resources:

Environment =>  Add a tag to identify resource environment lets us schedule turning off dev and test when no one is scheduled to use them,  which helps control costs

Cost Center =>  Adding this Tag allows you to track the resource for billing purposes.

Application =>  Add this tag should indicate what application owns this resource.  Adding this will help with application management and allow you to retire a resource with confidence when it is no longer needed.

You can add Tags at time of creation or at anytime during the resources lifespan.  It is important to be consistent with tags so that if you have more than one administrator they can identify resources effectively.
