Enforce tagging standards across all your AWS resources. Define policies, catch untagged resources, and maintain governance at scale.
Demo - this is what tag compliance monitoring looks like in CloudWrangler
Tags are the foundation of cloud governance. They drive cost allocation, access control, automation, and compliance reporting. Without consistent tagging, you can't answer basic questions like "who owns this resource?" or "what project is this for?"
CloudWrangler lets you define tagging policies and continuously monitors all resources for compliance. We catch missing tags, invalid values, and inconsistent naming — across every account and region in your organization.
Unlike manual audits that happen quarterly, CloudWrangler runs continuously. New resources that violate your policies are flagged immediately, keeping your environment clean from day one.
Everything you need to define, enforce, and maintain tagging standards at scale
Define required tags, allowed values, and validation rules. Support for regex patterns, enumerations, and email format validation.
Automatically scan all resources against your policies. New resources are checked as soon as they're discovered — no manual audits needed.
Find missing tags, invalid values, and inconsistent naming across all accounts. Filter violations by severity, resource type, or account.
Track your overall compliance rate and trends. See which accounts, teams, or resource types have the most violations.
Each violation includes specific guidance on how to fix it. Know exactly which tags to add and what values are acceptable.
Generate compliance reports for stakeholders. Track trends over time and measure the impact of your governance initiatives.
How teams use tag compliance to improve cloud governance
Require CostCenter and Project tags on all resources to ensure accurate cost allocation. Without proper tags, 30-40% of cloud spending can't be attributed to a team or project.
Enforce Environment and Owner tags for IAM policy conditions. Tag-based access control only works when resources are consistently tagged.
Require AutoShutdown and RetentionPeriod tags for automated resource lifecycle management. Automatically stop dev instances at night and clean up expired resources.
Generate audit-ready reports showing tagging compliance across your organization. Track improvements over time and identify teams that need support.
CloudWrangler checks tags on EC2 instances, RDS databases, S3 buckets, Lambda functions, ELBs, VPCs, security groups, and many more. Any resource that supports AWS tags can be monitored for compliance.
Yes. You can create policies that apply to specific accounts, regions, or resource types. For example, production accounts might require stricter tagging than development accounts.
You can define allowed values as enumerations (e.g., prod/staging/dev), regex patterns (e.g., CC-\d{4} for cost centers), or format validations (e.g., valid email addresses). Invalid values are flagged with specific remediation guidance.
Yes. You can create exemptions for resources that legitimately don't need certain tags. Exemptions are tracked and auditable so you maintain governance visibility.
CloudWrangler complements AWS Tag Policies by providing richer validation rules, cross-account visibility, compliance scoring, and trend tracking that AWS native tools don't offer.
Yes, CloudWrangler's tag compliance is completely free. No credit card, no trial period. We believe tag governance is a fundamental need that every team should have access to.
