In the complexity of the clouds, where teams and projects are easily interconnected and sharing resources, implementing proper tagging practices becomes paramount. By strategically assigning tags to resources, you gain the ability to allocate costs with precision, allowing you to attribute expenses to specific teams or projects accurately.
