Azure example of tagging

A resource tag consists of a name and a value. You can assign one or more tags to each Azure resource.

NameValue
AppNameThe name of the application that the resource is part of.
CostCenterThe internal cost center code.
OwnerThe name of the business owner who’s responsible for the resource.
EnvironmentAn environment name, such as “Prod,” “Dev,” or “Test.”
ImpactHow important the resource is to business operations, such as “Mission-critical,” “High-impact,” or “Low-impact.”

Here’s an example that shows these tags as they’re applied to a virtual machine during provisioning.

You can run queries, for example, from PowerShell or the Azure CLI, to list all resources that contain these tags.

Azure Policy is a service in Azure that enables you to create, assign, and manage policies that control or audit your resources. These policies enforce different rules and effects over your resource configurations so that those configurations stay compliant with corporate standards.
