Vantage Launches Virtual Tagging: The Ability to Create Custom Cost Allocation Tags

Vantage has introduced a new feature called virtual tagging, which allows users to create custom cost allocation tags for cost data imported into the platform, addressing issues with inconsistent tagging practices across different cloud providers. This feature enables users to apply tags to providers that do not support them, enhance tagging coverage for those that do, and resolve tagging discrepancies, thus facilitating more accurate cost reporting. Users can define virtual tag keys and values with filters directly within Vantage, circumventing the need for engineering teams to alter cloud infrastructure, and these tags can then be used for various functionalities such as cost reports and allocations across the platform. The feature is freely available to all Vantage users, and it supports all provider integrations within Vantage, even those that do not natively support tags.
