Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer announces tag support to better organize resources

Posted on: Nov 20, 2020

Today, we are excited to announce additional capabilities with Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer. You can now add tags to associated repositories to better identify, organize, and manage your AWS resources.

To add tags, you can go the the Amazon CodeGuru dashboard within the AWS console and navigate to the “Associate repository” console page. After choosing the repository provider, you will now see a new “Add new tag” option. In the “Key”, you can enter a name for the tag and add an optional value for the tag in “Value”. You can also add more tags by choosing the “Add tag” option again.

Additionally, you can create a policy that denies or allows actions on code reviews based on their associated repository's resource tags. For example, you can create a policy that allows only certain users to review recommendations created by code reviews in all associated repositories that have a tag with a value of “Secret”.

Amazon CodeGuru is a developer tool powered by machine learning that provides intelligent recommendations for improving code quality and identifying an applications’ most expensive lines of code.
