Use Cases Overview¶

TagOps enables organizations to implement comprehensive tagging strategies across multiple operational domains. This section provides detailed use cases organized by functional area.

Think of TagOps as the long-lost cousin who finally gives SecOps, FinOps, and DevOps a reason to sit together at the “ops” lunch table and argue over whose tags matter most.🏷️

FinOps¶

Financial Operations use cases focus on cost management, allocation, and financial accountability.

Cost Allocation ¶

Easily attribute and track cloud spend across business units, projects, or teams through consistent tagging for cost allocation and financial management.

Chargeback & Showback ¶

Enable transparent cost allocation and financial accountability across departments, teams, and projects using tag-based chargeback and showback models.

Cost Anomaly Detection & Budget Management ¶

Implement proactive cost monitoring and anomaly detection using tag-based segmentation to identify unexpected spending patterns, prevent budget overruns, and enable rapid response to cost anomalies.

AWS Budgets with Tags ¶

Automatically tag AWS resources to enable tag-based budget tracking and alerts for cost management.

Auto-Tag Untagged Resources ¶

Automatically tag untagged resources with CostCenter=Unallocated to identify resources missing cost allocation tags.

Assign Tags Before Account Suspension ¶

Automatically tag AWS accounts with suspension metadata before migrating them to a suspended OU to preserve ownership and cost context.

SecOps¶

Security Operations use cases focus on access control, encryption, and compliance.

Resource Ownership & Access Control ¶

Use tag-based access control (ABAC) to ensure only the resource owner or specified department team members can access and manage AWS resources.

Data Encryption & Security Compliance ¶

Implement comprehensive data encryption governance and security compliance by using tag-based access control for AWS KMS encryption keys.

AWS Inspector CIS Scan Configuration ¶

Automatically tag EC2 instances to enable targeted CIS benchmark scanning using Amazon Inspector.

EC2 Instance Isolation ¶

Automatically tag EC2 instances to enable automated isolation for incident response and security containment.

IAM Access Control with Tags ¶

Automatically tag AWS resources to enable fine-grained access control using tag-based IAM policies.

Firewall Manager Policy Scoping ¶

Automatically tag AWS resources to enable tag-based scoping for AWS Firewall Manager policies.

Deletion Protection with Tags ¶

Automatically tag AWS resources to enable deletion protection and prevent accidental resource deletion.

DevOps¶

Development Operations use cases focus on operational efficiency and support processes.
