Introduction

In multi-cloud environments, maintaining consistent resource tagging can be challenging. Tags are essential for resource organization, cost allocation, access control, and automation workflows. The terraform-null-tags module addresses this challenge by providing a cloud-agnostic solution for standardizing tags across all your infrastructure resources.

Why Resource Tagging Matters

Proper resource tagging offers numerous benefits:

• Resource Organization: Easily identify and categorize resources by project, environment, team, or application
• Cost Allocation: Track and attribute costs to specific business units, projects, or environments
• Security & Compliance: Enforce security policies and compliance requirements based on resource tags
• Automation: Build workflows that target resources based on tag values
• Inventory Management: Create comprehensive resource inventories across multiple cloud providers

Without a consistent tagging strategy, organizations often face challenges with cost attribution, resource governance, and operational visibility.
