File: IAM/latest/UserGuide/sts_example_iam_GettingStarted_069_section.md

Summary

Added project/tutorial tags to IAM roles, EC2 instances, and experiment templates

Security assessment

Changes implement organizational tagging without altering security controls. No security vulnerabilities are patched, and no security features are documented. Resource tagging supports operational management but doesn't affect authentication, authorization, or data protection.
