Amazon Aurora Global Database now supports applying tags to your global clusters, enabling you to associate metadata information with your overall Global Database cluster. For instance, you can apply a tag to organize resource costs for your entire Global Database cluster, making it easier to categorize and track your Amazon Web Services costs.
