A transit agency’s FinOps policy requires untagged spend to stay below a stated percentage of the monthly bill. Today many new resources launch without the mandatory CostCenter and Application tags. Which strategy best expands tagging coverage for cost allocation and reporting?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If untagged spend is the leak, plug it with required-tag policies, Config rules, and a backfill—not by deleting tags from CUR. Measure until the FinOps threshold is green. Quarantine Regions are theater, not allocation.
Full Explanation
Effective cost allocation depends on consistent tagging. Organizations expand coverage by enforcing mandatory keys through tag policies, IAM conditions, and Config rules, remediating existing gaps, and monitoring untagged spend against a FinOps threshold. Removing tags from CUR, allowing uncontrolled key sprawl, or relocating resources to another Region does not create trustworthy allocation reporting.
