FinOps Account Tags

finOps.accountTags controls the values DLZ stamps on every resource in the FinOps stack (the dedicated org.ous.sharedServices.accounts.finOps account). The defaults treat the account as production-grade DLZ infrastructure. Override them when your operator taxonomy differs.

These overrides apply only to the FinOps account stack. They don’t change the App-level mandatory tags, the per-account DLzAccount.costCenter / .domain values, or the tag-policy allowed-values list.

Defaults

TagDefaultNotes
OwnerinfraMatches the App-level default
ProjectdlzMatches the App-level default
EnvironmentproductionFrom DlzAccountType.PRODUCTION. The FinOps account holds production-grade billing data even in a sandbox deployment
CostCenterdlzMatches the App-level default
DomainfoundationThe FinOps account is foundation, not platform or workload

If Environment is in your mandatoryTags.environment allowed-values list, make sure production (or whatever you set here) is included — otherwise synth fails on tag-policy validation.

Overriding

finOps: {
accountTags: {
owner: 'finops-team',
project: 'acme-platform',
environment: 'prod',
costCenter: 'finance',
domain: 'finops',
},
}

Every field is optional — omit the ones you’re happy with and DLZ uses the default for that tag only.

When to override

  • Your operator taxonomy uses prod / staging / dev instead of production / staging / develop — override environment to match.
  • You charge the FinOps account to a finance cost center, not the platform team — override costCenter.
  • You distinguish FinOps from foundation in your domain taxonomy — override domain.

If you don’t have an opinion on any of these, leave accountTags out entirely. The defaults are safe.
