New approach inside Amazon Web Service CloudFormation: Stakes and Opportunities



Following the release of cost allocation reports and tagging, a system that allows you to organize and track your Amazon Web Service resources and their associated cost, since February 7, 2013, officially Amazon Web Service CloudFormation has added also support for
tagging Amazon S3 buckets and Amazon RDS DB Instances.
This means that AWS CloudFormation makes it easy for you to provision and configure a set of related AWS resources. Henceforth you can track the cost and usage of the resources like:
  • S3 buckets
  • RDS DB Instances
  • EC2 Instances
  • Auto Scaling groups
  • EBS volumes
  • VPN resources
In fact Tags aims to represent your business dimensions such as a specific application or service that you’re running on AWS or a cost center within your company. The cost allocation reports allow you to take these tags and track usage and cost associated with them. Mentioned Saad Ladki, Product Manager, AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS CloudFormation.
