A summary of recommendations for tagging resources and other objects in Azure. (See AWS Standard Tagging for AWS tagging.) |
Eventually, Azure billing at Cornell will be automated within KFS, like AWS. Once that automation is complete, you will be able to customize which KFS account is charged for individual Azure resources by tagging with a "Cost Center" tag.
Even before the Azure-KFS billing integration is implemented (i.e. right now), you can use CloudCheckr reports to summarize billing data by "Cost Center" so that your financial folks can manually target costs for specific Azure resources to specific KFS accounts.
Note that applying the "Cost Center" tag to a resource does not retroactively adjust the billing data for the resource, prior to the tag being set.
Tag key/name: "Cost Center" (single space included between "Cost" and "Center")
