Enforce AWS Organizations Tag Policies with Pulumi
Blog post from Pulumi
Tags are crucial for cloud governance in AWS, enabling essential functions like cost allocation and compliance reporting, yet they often present challenges due to inconsistency or absence. To address this, a new AWS Organizations Tag Policies policy pack has been introduced in collaboration with AWS, which integrates with Pulumi to enforce tag requirements consistently. This pack validates infrastructure against predefined tag policies, preventing deployments with missing tags by shifting governance earlier into the development workflow. Users can start in advisory mode to identify tagging issues without blocking deployments and then switch to mandatory mode to enforce compliance. The policy pack works with both AWS Classic and AWS Native Pulumi providers and simplifies governance by eliminating the need for separate policy configurations or custom code, ensuring all resources meet tagging requirements.
