Description

The ""Copy Tags to Snapshots"" feature of the RDS instance {AwsRdsDbInstance} is disabled. This feature allows you to automatically copy tags set on an RDS instance to automated or manual snapshots that get created from the instance. It is a convenient way to write metadata onto snapshots to match the parent RDS instance.
