02/16/2026, 1:43 AMI'm reviewing an old AWS account with poor hygiene and I'd like to ignore resources that weren't deliberately created. There's no consistent use of tags, resource groups, or anything helpful like that.

02/16/2026, 1:47 AMI also have a reference empty account that should have no non-default resources.. but I haven't found a query that returns (almost) nothing, yet.

For what I'm working on, since I have a blank canvas, I can tag things that I want found. But ideally, I want to be able to find all the "bespoke" resources and ignore all the AWS-created ones: it would be useful in the future.

02/18/2026, 2:56 AMDefault VPC, RDS cluster parameter groups, SSM-SessionManagerRunShell document.. these things always exist. There's a pile of new ones in new accounts, to do with IoT stuff, that I know nothing about. I'd love to be able to "not see" these.
