GenAI-Based Tagging – Smarter Tagging for Smarter Governance

Solving Tagging Challenges with GenAI Intelligence
— By Parthu Kishen & Connor Schmidt, Product Management, CoreStack

Tagging is the foundation of cloud cost attribution, policy enforcement, and governance. But in reality, tagging is often inconsistent, incomplete, or outdated—especially in large, multi-team environments. This leads to inaccurate reporting, broken automation, and limited visibility into cloud spend.

CoreStack’s GenAI-Based Tagging Baseline addresses this challenge by using generative AI to analyze resource metadata, usage patterns, and naming conventions to suggest or apply intelligent tagging strategies. It helps organizations build cleaner, more consistent tagging baselines—without manual effort or dependency on developers.

By improving tagging coverage and accuracy, CoreStack enables smarter governance, better cost control, and faster operational insights.

What Is the GenAI-Based Tagging Baseline?
GenAI-Based Tagging Baseline is CoreStack’s AI-driven tagging intelligence engine. It enables organizations to:

• Analyze resource metadata and usage to infer missing or inconsistent tags
• Generate tagging recommendations based on naming patterns and context
• Support policy enforcement and cost attribution with cleaner tagging baselines

In other words, it provides smarter tagging—powered by AI, built for governance.

Key Capabilities That Solve Real Problems
Here are some of the common tagging and cost attribution challenges organizations face—and how GenAI-Based Tagging Baseline helps solve them:

AI-Powered Tag Inference
Manual tagging is slow, error-prone, and often deprioritized by engineering teams.

CoreStack’s GenAI engine analyzes resource names, usage patterns, and metadata to infer logical tags—filling gaps in environments where tagging is inconsistent or missing. This reduces reliance on manual tagging and accelerates time-to-value for FinOps and governance teams.

Tagging Recommendations
Even when tagging policies exist, teams may not know what tags to apply or how to structure them.

GenAI provides intelligent tagging suggestions based on organizational standards, naming conventions, and historical usage. These recommendations help teams adopt tagging best practices without needing deep cloud expertise.

Governance Enablement
Poor tagging undermines policy enforcement, cost allocation, and anomaly detection.

With cleaner, AI-enhanced tagging, organizations can enforce policies more effectively, allocate costs with precision, and detect issues faster. GenAI tagging becomes the backbone of reliable cloud governance.

Why It Matters: Business Outcomes That Drive Impact
GenAI-Based Tagging Baseline helps organizations overcome one of the most persistent blockers to cloud governance—tagging inconsistency—by automating and improving tagging at scale.

• Improved Cost Attribution: Tags enable accurate allocation and reporting
• Stronger Policy Compliance: Governance rules rely on consistent tagging
• Reduced Manual Effort: AI replaces tagging audits and cleanup projects
• Faster Time-to-Insight: Better tagging means better dashboards and decisions

By turning tagging into an intelligent, automated process, CoreStack empowers organizations to scale FinOps and governance with confidence.
