Key Insights

  • Generated 8 tags (5 required + 3 recommended) for "customer-facing-api". Tag coverage: 63%.
  • The package combines policy language, Terraform locals, and AWS SCP enforcement so governance is directly usable by delivery teams.
  • Data class "confidential" triggers enhanced backup and encryption tag recommendations.

Actionable Next Steps

  • Apply the Terraform locals block in shared modules or platform templates for tag enforcement.
  • Deploy the AWS SCP to prevent untagged resource creation.
  • Add more tags (e.g., project, team, compliance_scope) to reach 75%+ coverage.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they adopt this workflow.

When should teams use Tagging Policy Builder?

This tool is most useful when the team needs an answer they can carry into diagrams, documentation, and design reviews without rewriting the same context three times.

Who benefits most from Tagging Policy Builder?

Architects, platform teams, and technical leads benefit most because they need explicit assumptions, clear review cues, and artifacts that survive implementation handoff.

How does Tagging Policy Builder connect back to Architecto?

Architecto uses the free content surface as the top of a larger workflow. Once the team needs richer diagrams, schema visibility, change comparison, or technical documentation, the matching product module keeps the same decision context alive.
