Hey folks,

is it possible to automatically tag created resources when running `pulumi up` , instead of specifying tags manually for each resource?

For example, in my stack I'm creating an EC2 instance, an elastic ip address and a security group.
For those 3 resources, I add a tag such as `createdBy: Pulumi` . However, the underlying Network Interface that gets automatically generated isn't directly defined as code, thus it remains tagless.

I was wondering if it's possible to:
1 - specify a set of tags that gets automatically applied to all resources created by pulumi
2 - use the above set to also tag the resources not directly defined as code, but still created during the process (like the network interface mentioned above)

For the first one `defaultTags` as in <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/installation-configuration/#configuration-options> should work

Not sure about the network interface, maybe AWS will propagate it from parent resources?

Awesome <@U01H2270FUY>, thanks for the headsup! I had no idea this documentation page existed, it's exactly what I needed :slightly_smiling_face:
