RDS for PostgreSQL DB clusters should be configured to copy tags to DB snapshots

Checks that RDS for PostgreSQL DB clusters copy their tags to DB snapshots when the snapshots are created, so each snapshot inherits the tags that drive cost allocation, ownership and tag-based access policies. Snapshots taken before the change keep the tags they already have.

How to fix it

In the console

RDS → Databases → the DB cluster → Modify

With the AWS CLI

aws rds modify-db-cluster --db-cluster-identifier <db-cluster-id> --copy-tags-to-snapshot --region <region>

With Terraform

resource "aws_rds_cluster" "this" {
  engine                = "postgres"
  copy_tags_to_snapshot = true
}
