AWSmerkinnät

AWSmerkinnät is a Finnish term that translates to "AWS tags" in English. AWS tags are key-value pairs that you can assign to AWS resources. These tags are metadata that help you organize, identify, and manage your AWS resources. They can be used for a wide range of purposes, including cost allocation, resource grouping, access control, and automation.

For example, you might tag a resource with a key like "Project" and a value like "Alpha" to indicate that the resource belongs to the Alpha project. Another common use case is for cost management, where you might tag resources with "Environment" and a value like "Production" or "Development" to track spending by different environments. Tags can also be used to define resource policies, allowing you to grant or deny access to resources based on specific tag values. Furthermore, tags are instrumental in automating tasks. AWS services like AWS Lambda and AWS Systems Manager can use tags to identify and act upon specific sets of resources, such as backing up all resources tagged with a particular environment. The flexibility and broad applicability of AWS tags make them a fundamental component of effective AWS resource management.
