AWS Compute Optimizer now applies AWS-generated tags to EBS snapshots created during automation

AWS Compute Optimizer makes it easier to identify snapshots that are created when snapshotting and deleting unattached Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes by automatically applying an AWS-generated tag during creation. This enhancement improves visibility and tracking of EBS snapshots created through Compute Optimizer Automation. When Compute Optimizer creates a snapshot before deleting an unattached EBS volume—whether initiated through manual actions or automation rules—the snapshot now receives the tag _aws:compute-optimizer:automation-event-id_ with a tag value that links the snapshot to the unique identifier of the automation event that created it. This allows you to easily identify, track, and manage snapshots created through the automated optimization process, helping you maintain better governance over your backup resources and understand the source of snapshots in your environment. This is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Compute Optimizer Automation is available. To get started with automated optimization, go to the AWS Compute Optimizer console or visit the [user guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/latest/ug/automation.html) documentation.
