Yor is an open-source tool that helps add informative and consistent tags across infrastructure as code (IaC) frameworks. Today, Yor can automatically add tags to Terraform, CloudFormation, and Serverless Frameworks.
Yor is built to run as a GitHub Action automatically adding consistent tagging logics to your IaC. Yor can also run as a pre-commit hook and a standalone CLI.
- Apply tags and labels on infrastructure as code directory
- Tracing:
yor_tracetag enables simple attribution between an IaC resource block and a running cloud resource. - Change management: git-based tags automatically add org, repo, commit and modifier details on every resource block.
- Custom taggers: user-defined tagging logics can be added to run using Yor.
- Skips: inline annotations enable developers to exclude paths that should not be tagged.
- Dry-Run: get a preview of what tags will be added without applying any.

Having a yor_trace in place can help with tracing code block to its cloud provisioned resources without access to sensitive data such as plan or state files.

Contribution is welcomed!
We are working on extending Yor and adding more parsers (to support additional IaC frameworks) and more taggers (to tag using other contextual data).
To maintain our conventions, please run lint on your branch before opening a PR. To run lint:
golangci-lint run --fix --skip-dirs tests/yor_pluginsFor more support contact us at https://codifiedsecurity.slack.com/.
