# TagOps

> TagOps is an automated AWS resource tagging platform that reduces manual tagging work by 95%, optimizes cloud costs through intelligent cost allocation, and enhances security with tag-based access control (ABAC). TagOps automatically tags AWS resources based on configurable rules, enabling organizations to achieve compliance, accurate chargeback, and operational intelligence across their cloud infrastructure.

TagOps helps organizations solve critical AWS tagging challenges:

- **Cost Management**: Automatically allocate AWS costs to departments, projects, and teams with intelligent tagging for accurate chargeback and showback
- **Security & Compliance**: Implement attribute-based access control (ABAC) using resource tags and ensure compliance with automated tagging policies
- **Operational Intelligence**: Enrich resources with metadata and context to help operations teams understand resource purpose, ownership, and relationships
- **Automation**: Create intelligent tagging rules using built-in templates or custom rules using an IF/THEN rule builder

TagOps supports 100+ AWS services and provides comprehensive inventory management, advanced filtering, and daily automated scans to maintain tag compliance.
