AMI Naming Conventions

Ensure that Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) follow organizational naming conventions for tagging

AMIs should follow a consistent naming convention using the Name tag to identify their purpose, environment, and region. This helps prevent accidental use of incorrect images, reduces operational errors, and improves resource management. Without proper naming conventions, teams may deploy instances with outdated or inappropriate AMIs, leading to security vulnerabilities or configuration issues.

Update AMI Name tags to follow organizational naming conventions.
