## Resource tagging
-Suggested:
+Refer [What are tags?], [Tagging best practices and strategies], [Best Practices for Tagging AWS Resources] and
+[Tag naming limits and requirements].

-| `Name` | AWS UI | `GitlabRunner` | |
-| `Owner` | | `SecurityLead`, `SecOps`, `Workload-1-Development-team` | |

-| `Environment` | | `Sandbox`, `Dev`, `PreProd`, `QA`, `Prod`, `Testing` | |
-| `CostCenter` | | `FIN123`, `Retail-123`, `Sales-248`, `HR-333` | |

+Tags are labels consisting of a key and an optional value.
+One can apply them to resources in order to add metadata to them.
+
+Most, but not all, AWS services and resource types currently support tags. See
+[Services that support the Resource Groups Tagging API] for a list of which of them do.
+Services other then the ones in the list may support tags via their own APIs.
+
+> [!note]
+> Tags are **not** encrypted.
+> They should **not** be used to store sensitive data like personally identifiable information (PII).
+
+Tags that users create are known as _user-defined_ tags.
+
+Several AWS services automatically assign tags to those resources that they create and manage.
+These keys are known as _AWS generated_, tags and are usually prefixed with `aws:`.
+As such, the `aws:` prefix **cannot** be used in user-defined tag keys.
+
+User-defined tags have usage requirements, and there are limits on the number that can be added to any AWS
+resource.
+AWS generated tags do **not** count against these limits.
+
+AWS generated tags use a namespace format, e.g. `aws:cloudformation:some-stack`.
+User-defined tags _can_ also use that format.
+
+Using an organizational identifier as a prefix in tags is recommended to help identify where tags come from.
+
+Suggested tags from AWS:
+
+| Tag | Value example | Notes |
+| ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| `Name` | `GitlabRunner`, `Prometheus Server` | Shows as human-friendly name in the AWS console |
+| `Owner` | `SecurityLead`, `SecOps`, `Workload-1-Development-team` | |
+| `BusinessUnitId` | `Finance`, `Retail`, `API-1`, `DevOps` | |
+| `Environment`, `example-org:devops:environment` | `Sandbox`, `Dev`, `PreProd`, `QA`, `Prod`, `Testing` | |
+| `CostCenter`, `company-b:CostCenter` | `FIN123`, `Retail-123`, `Sales-248`, `HR-333` | |
+| `FinancialOwner` | `HR`, `SecurityLead`, `DevOps-3`, `Workload-1-Development-team` | |
+| `ComplianceRequirement` | `NIST`, `HIPAA`, `GDPR` | |
[Create tag policies][creating organization policies with aws organizations] to enforce values, and to prevent the
creation of non-compliant resources.
+> [!note]
+> Once created, tags cannot be deleted.
+
+If unused for some time, they will **not** show up in services like Cost Explorer.
+Deletion aside, one can manage tags in the Tag Editor.
