Infrastructure teams duplicate tags across IaC resources

Terraform and Terragrunt users want consistent default tags without repeating tag definitions in resources or child configurations. A related AWS CDK request highlights a gap in propagating tags to associated resources such as log groups. The requests show friction across IaC tools, but a standalone tool could audit and reduce inconsistencies; it cannot add provider-native behavior where the platform lacks it.

For infrastructure engineers using Terraform, Terragrunt, and AWS CDK. Mentioned from Jun 2022 to May 2023 on GitHub.

  1. It would be great if it were possible to define a set of default tags at the provider level, that automatically get applied to all resources managed by a given provider instance
  2. having this will save us from duplicating a lot of tags in resources or locals/variables
