Does it handle case-sensitivity differences between clouds?

Yes, it provides a cross-provider guide for naming conventions, noting that AWS and Kubernetes are case-sensitive while Azure is not and GCP requires lowercase.

Which cloud providers are supported by this tagging skill?

The skill provides comprehensive strategies and enforcement patterns for AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Kubernetes.

What are the recommended core tags for cloud resources?

The skill recommends the 'Big Six' strategy: Name, Environment, Owner, CostCenter, Project, and ManagedBy to cover most governance needs.

How does this skill assist with FinOps and cost management?

It provides implementation details for cost allocation tags, allowing organizations to track spending by team or project and set up cost anomaly detection.

Can tagging be enforced automatically?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for enforcement using Infrastructure as Code provider defaults and policy engines like AWS Config, Azure Policy, and OPA Gatekeeper.

Cloud Infrastructure

Implements comprehensive cloud resource tagging strategies across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes to improve governance and cost visibility.

About

This skill provides a standardized framework for tagging cloud infrastructure, enabling precise cost allocation, ownership tracking, and automated compliance enforcement. It guides users through the implementation of the 'Big Six' core tags, naming conventions across different cloud providers, and automated enforcement patterns using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Pulumi. By establishing a robust metadata layer, this skill helps organizations reduce unallocated spend, streamline security incident response, and automate resource lifecycle management.

Key Features

Multi-cloud tagging strategies for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes
158 GitHub stars
Compliance auditing queries for SQL, KQL, and Cloud Asset Inventory
Standardized 'Big Six' taxonomy for unified resource governance
Provider-specific constraint handling for naming and limits
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) integration patterns for automated tagging

Use Cases

Enforcing regulatory compliance requirements like PCI and HIPAA through policy
Implementing FinOps practices to track cloud spend by department and project
Automating resource lifecycle management including backups and scheduled shutdowns
