Snowflake Warehouse Missing Cost-Allocation Tags

Spend from this warehouse cannot be attributed to a team or product, so it lands in an unallocated bucket nobody owns.

Fix

The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.

Applies to
Snowflake Warehouse on Snowflake
The fix, by hand
  1. Define a tagging standard if your org doesn't have one. Team, cost_center, environment are the standard three.
  2. Create the tag schema (one-time): CREATE TAG IF NOT EXISTS ZOPNIGHT_TAGS.team;.
  3. Apply per warehouse: ALTER WAREHOUSE the resource SET TAG ZOPNIGHT_TAGS.team = '‹team›';.
  4. Repeat for cost_center and environment.
  5. Enforce on creation via tag-based policies so new warehouses inherit the tags from a parent object.

These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
