We tag all the resources created by LocalOps with specific keys and values that you can use to locate your resources from your AWS console. These tags are useful for:
  • Inventory - list every AWS resource that belongs to an environment, so you always know what LocalOps provisioned in your account.
  • Cost analysis - break down your AWS bill by environment and see exactly how much each environment costs to run.

​

  1. Find the tag keys and values added by LocalOps in your environment’s Overview tab (Environment > Overview)

  4. You can further organize and manage these resources by creating AWS Resource Groups using these tags.

​
Analyze costs by environment

  1. Open the Cost allocation tags page in the AWS Billing console
  2. Find the LocalOps tag key (for example, acmecorp.loc.env-id) under User-defined cost allocation tags and activate it
  3. Open AWS Cost Explorer and group or filter costs by that tag key to see the spend for each environment
AWS can take up to 24 hours for a newly activated cost allocation tag to appear in Cost Explorer, and costs are only tracked from the time the tag is activated.
