No tag key resources that are billed

Question

We are using Tag policy and Cost allocation tag in our Organization, based on the 'AWS Org Report by (Tag)' report , there are billed resources that are still do not have tag key, is there a way we can extract these resources?

Accepted Answer

I would start by using [Cost Explorer](https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-cost-explorer/) and filtering for your tag = no-tag. This will limit the costs and usage shown to only things that don't have the tag you are researching. Then, you can group by useful things like service, region, usage-type to narrow down where and possibly what is causing the usage/cost that is not tagged.

Understand, that things like Data Transfer cannot be tagged, so you will never be able to tag 100% of your costs.

Once you have the non-tagged service and region and possibly usage types, then you can either look in [Cost and Usage Reports](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/what-is-cur.html) or possibly search in the [AWS Tag Editor](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/tag-editor/latest/userguide/tag-editor.html) to find specific resources that are not tagged.

If you are looking to do this over the long term and/or automate, then you should checkout the various options including pros and cons in this AWS Whitepaper [Tagging Best Practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/tagging-best-practices/building-your-tagging-strategy.html)

Answer

Yes, you can use Tag Editor from your console to identify those that are not tagging/not tagged with values
