Amazon RDS and Aurora now support resource tagging for Automated Backups

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. For example, create application specific tags to control permissions for describing, deleting, or restoring automated backups and to organize and track backup costs of the application.

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

To learn more about tagging Aurora and RDS automated backups, see the Amazon documentation on Tagging Amazon Aurora resources, Tagging Amazon RDS resources, and Using tags for attribute-based access control.
