Hi,
Seems like a simple question but I cant seem to find the answer anywhere on documentation.
Is it possible to use CloudFormation to enforce tagging on resources being created?

Hi Jneo,
Yes,
You can set conditions on CloudFormation parameters with ‘parameter constraints’. regex style constraints. You can also specify selection lists if you don’t want a free for all. You can even pass environment parameters such as user ID of the person invoking the template into a Tag.
So much power, but you need to spend some time learning how to make it work for you. 😉

This course is getting a bit old, but it is still has a wealth of valuable information built into it.
