Cloud Config:resources-inherit-tags-from-resource-group

Last Updated:Jun 16, 2026

Evaluates whether each resource inherits a specified tag from the resource group to which it belongs. Resources that inherit the specified tag are evaluated as Compliant.

Scenarios

Use this rule to verify that resources automatically inherit specified tags from their resource groups, improving resource management efficiency.

Risk level

Default risk level: high.

You can change the risk level based on your business requirements when you apply this rule.

Compliance evaluation logic

  • If each resource inherits a specified tag from the resource group to which it belongs, the evaluation result is Compliant.
  • If a resource does not inherit a specified tag from the resource group to which it belongs, the evaluation result is Incompliant. For more information about how to remediate an incompliant configuration, see Incompliance remediation.
  • This rule does not apply to resources that do not belong to any resource group, or resources added to a resource group that has no tags attached.
