Provider Reference

Description

Lambda functions must be tagged so resources can be reliably identified, assigned ownership, and included in incident response, access reviews, and automated security workflows. The Tags property on AWS::Lambda::Function resources must be defined and contain tag objects (Key and Value pairs). Resources missing the Tags property will be flagged. Tags should be provided as an array of objects with Key and Value fields.

Secure configuration example:

MyFunction:
  Type: AWS::Lambda::Function
  Properties:
    FunctionName: my-function
    Runtime: python3.9
    Handler: index.handler
    Role: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/lambda-exec
    Code:
      S3Bucket: my-bucket
      S3Key: my-function.zip
    Tags:
      - Key: Environment
        Value: production
      - Key: Owner
        Value: team-security
