AWS Tagging Best Practices

I can echo what this article recommends for business tags. When we migrated to IaC (terraform) we tagged nearly all of our resources and set up quite a few budgets and budget overrun alerts.

It gives great insight into infrastructure costs, makes budgeting a lot easier, and saved us a decent chunk of change by letting us know where savings would have the most impact or alerting us when we had unintended cost increases.

I hear ya on that! We've found that a lot of orgs just want to go straight into "how do we save money?" However, without having that visibility through tags and organizing your cost with tags....where do you even start.
