Virtual Tagging
All the tools you need for custom cost allocation, showback by team or service, and maintaining tagging hygiene.
Case study
We achieved 99 percent allocation of all resources within AWS belonging to a team by virtual tag.

Read case studyCreate your own FinOps-specific tags
Define custom tag key and value conditions to fix tagging hygiene without having to rely or wait on engineering teams to do the work. As often as Vantage receives data from providers, it will apply and re-allocate tags.
Unify tags across all providers
Virtual tagging ensures uniform tagging practices across cloud providers—even those without native tagging support. Ensure comprehensive tagging coverage and enhance cost allocation accuracy.
Custom cost re-allocation
Split up bulk charges using custom metrics to dynamically allocate shared fees back to each team. Ensure comprehensive tagging coverage and enhance cost allocation accuracy.
Back-fill and override history
Virtual tagging logic allows you to extend your tagging logic back to a specific point in time and even override the underlying cost allocation tags from the provider.
Apply and manage via Terraform
Virtual tagging, like everything else on Vantage, can be managed via our Terraform provider. Maintain source control via ‘FinOps as Code’ and manage complex logic.
Track via an audit log
All Virtual Tag changes are automatically tracked via an audit log. See who made changes and when they occurred so you can understand how logic changed over time.
