A tag is a custom attribute label that you or AWS assigns to an AWS resource. Each AWS tag has two parts:
-
A tag key (for example,
CostCenter,Environment,Project, orSecret). Tag keys are case sensitive. -
An optional field known as a tag value (for example,
111122223333,Production, or a team name). Omitting the tag value is the same as using an empty string. Like tag keys, tag values are case sensitive.
Together these are known as key-value pairs.
Tags help you identify and organize your AWS resources. Many AWS services support tagging, so you can assign the same tag to resources from different services to indicate that the resources are related. For example, you can assign the same tag to a pipeline that you assign to an Amazon S3 source bucket.

Tagging Strategies
You can tag the following resource types in CodePipeline:
You can use the AWS CLI, CodePipeline APIs, or AWS SDKs to:
-
Add tags to a pipeline, custom action, or webhook when you create it.
-
Add, manage, and remove tags for a pipeline, custom action, or webhook.
You can also use the console to add, manage, and remove tags for a pipeline.
In addition to identifying, organizing, and tracking your resource with tags, you can use tags in IAM policies to help control who can view and interact with your resource. For examples of tag-based access policies, see Using tags to control access to CodePipeline resources.
