AOSCOST04-BP01 Apply cost allocation tags to your OpenSearch resources for detailed cost tracking and analysis
Improve cost visibility and enhance financial reporting by applying cost allocation tags to track and analyse costs associated with each resource in your OpenSearch Service domain.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low
Desired outcome: Cost allocation tags are applied to enable detailed cost tracking and analysis of your OpenSearch Service domain.
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Improved cost visibility: Applying cost allocation tags to Amazon OpenSearch Service resources enables detailed cost tracking and analysis using AWS Cost Explorer, providing a clear understanding of costs associated with each resource.
-
Enhanced financial reporting: By categorizing workloads using key-value pairs (for example, environment, project, department), you can provide accurate financial reporting and separate costs for better expense management.
Implementation guidance
-
Assign unique tags to your OpenSearch Service domains, and use key-value pairs to categorize workloads by attributes such as environment (like development, production, and QA testing), project, or department.
-
Use tags to track cost usage and manage expenses with AWS Cost Explorer. This best practice helps you segment your costs and improve the accuracy of your financial reporting.
