Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) expanded its capabilities to allow tags on individual IP address allocations. This facilitates organization, governance, and fine-grained access control using familiar AWS tagging and identity policies, helping administrators centralize IP address management across large environments.
Tags can be applied during allocation or retroactively and enable filtering and policy enforcement by environment or role, such as separating production and development allocations. This functionality is generally available in all AWS regions supporting IPAM and incurs no additional charge, streamlining IP address inventory and compliance workflows.
