How to Enforce Tag Policies on AWS Resources in Python
Build a reusable Python class that checks AWS resources against a required-tag policy and reports compliance with missing tags.

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Dict, List
@dataclass
class Resource:
arn: str
tags: Dict[str, str] = field(default_factory=dict)
class TagPolicyEnforcer:
def __init__(self, required_tags: List[str]):
self.required_tags = set(required_tags)

"""
Simulates evaluating an NACL-like numbered rule by:
1. Checking if the rule number exists in the mock policy.
2. Computing an HMAC over the request payload for integrity.

# M…How to Implement Retry with Exponential Backoff for Cloud API 429 Errors in Python
Implement a retry-with-backoff loop in Python to handle 429 throttling errors from cloud APIs, using exponential delay between attempts.
import time
import random
import requests
def api_call(attempt):
"""Mock cloud API that returns 429 for the first two attempts."""
if attempt < 2:
return 429, "Too Many Requests"
return 200, {"data": "success"}

from typing import Any, Dict, List
def validate_data(data: Dict[str, Any], required_fields: List[str]) -> List[str]:
"""Check required fields exist and are non-empty. Return list of errors."""
