Amplify-cli: Add tags to all Amplify resources

[Morras]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It can be difficult to get an overview of all resources provisioned by Amplify. This would be greatly helped if all the resources had a common tag.

Describe the solution you'd like
All resources tagged with an "amplify-project" tag.
Ability to add other custom tags.

@Morras Can you clarify what you mean by tags in this context? Are you meaning when amplify add auth is added you want to understand what is configured? Please let us know.

He means to add default+custom tags to any resource created by Amplify CLI.

Yes, sorry for my very late reply.

What I am trying to do is to get a quick view of all resources provisioned by Amplify for a given project. I know that I can look through all the stack instances and see what was deployed, but it would be even better if I can find them via resource groups.

Another use case would be for companies who might be required to tag resources with certain compliance tags like environment or cost centre.

It would also be useful to tag resources with their env. That way any custom IAM polices can reference these resources based on tags, rather than resource names or arns (which may get recreated)

This is important for AWS Amplify to be managed by enterprise projects where teams share AWS accounts. bump

We're running into this as well to run into a better understanding of where AWS costs are going, is this on the roadmap anywhere?

Same need here, my use case is to configure a backup plan on AWS Backup service.
A default tag like this would be great: ${projectName}-${env}-${category} (so I can easily define different backup rules for storage and API).
