Low AutoScaling Regional

EC2 Auto Scaling groups should be tagged

Description

Flags Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups that have no user-defined tags. Tags help associate ASGs with their owning team, environment, and cost centre; untagged groups are operationally opaque.


Remediation

Apply at least one user-defined tag to every Auto Scaling group.

Steps

  1. Open the Amazon EC2 console and choose Auto Scaling Groups.
  2. Select the affected group and choose the Tags tab.
  3. Add at least one tag with a non-aws: prefixed key (e.g. Owner, Environment, CostCenter).
  4. Save the changes.
