Cost Tags

Cost Tags let you attach standardized cost attribution metadata to resources for chargeback and reporting use cases.

Below is the sample resource definition file for Cost Tag:

{
  "rCostTag": {
    "Type": "CostTag",
    "Properties": {
      "TagName": "cicdtestingtagname",
      "TagKey": "cicdtestingtagkey",
      "TagValues": [
        "tagvalue1"
      ],
      "TagDescription": "Base cost tag for CICD QA testing"
    }
  }
}
