Tagging technical components has several uses. The immediate use is for documentation, since the tag is metadata. Tags can be used to register the component owner, permissions, some observations and even parameters that an external script would use. From a FinOps perspective , the tag is used to create classifications and perform cost showback and chargeback with business sense.
