Amazon RDS and Aurora now support resource tagging for Automated Backups

Amazon RDS and Aurora Release Notes

Amazon RDS and Aurora now support resource tagging for automated backups and cluster automated backups. You can now tag your automated backups separately from the parent DB instance or DB cluster, enabling Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and simplifying resource management and cost tracking.

With this launch, you can tag automated backups in the same way as other RDS resources using the AWS Management Console, API, or SDK. Use these tags with IAM policies to control access and permissions to automated backups. Additionally, these tags can help you categorize your resources by application, project, department, environment, and more, as well as manage, organize, and track costs of your automated backups.

What to do

• Tag your automated backups to control access and permissions.
• Categorize resources by application, project, department, environment, and more.
• Manage, organize, and track costs of your automated backups.

This capability is available in all AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Aurora and RDS are available.
