Tagging accounts with parameters like "Department Name = Engineering" or "Cost Centre = M004" would enable users to gain granular insights into their AWS Sandbox Studio usage. This would allow for precise cost allocation and chargebacks to specific teams or projects, providing a clear understanding of spending patterns and resource consumption. It also facilitates better resource governance and optimization by identifying areas of high expenditure or underutilized resources, leading to improved cost efficiency.

In the Tags section, users can either select from the default options in the drop down, or create their own custom Tag names, by just typing into the Name (1) field. One you have selected or entered a name, you can type in or select a corresponding value (2) e.g. Department Name = Engineering

It is possible to add as many tags as needed to help you filter accounts as required. In the example below you can see 3 different tags
