Support for configurable Tags on Stack/StackSets on manifest file

[nd-at-globetel]

When it comes to creation of StackSets in the CfCT manifest file, when there's an AWS Organization's SCP applied that prevents the creation of resources with non-compliant tagging (e.g. CloudFormation resources (Stack/StackSets). It's difficult to implement these compliant tags.

Possible workarounds:

1. Reverse engineer the CfCT implementation and add the required tags on the source code of the CfCT itself
2. Disable the organization's SCP tagging compliance to allow the deployment of the Stacks/StackSets defined in the manifest file of the CfCT temporarily.

3. Implement WrapperTemplates to implement stack/stackset level tags. Reference link to StackOverFlow discussion

   "Description": "WrapperTemplate",
   
   "Resources": {
   "WrappedStackWithStackLevelTags": {
     "Type" : "AWS::CloudFormation::Stack",
     "Properties" : {
       "Tags" : [ { "Key" : "Stage", "Value" : "QA" } ],
       "TemplateURL" : "your-original-template-s3-url"
     }
   }
   }
   }

Configurable Tags at the StackSet level A code snippet of the proposed feature request.

  - name: new-cool-stackset
    resource_file: templates/my-cool-stackset.yaml
    deploy_method: stack_set
    deployment_targets:
      organizational_units:
        - Sandbox
    # custom tagging implem here that will be applied to the my-cool-stackset stackset
    tags:
       - key: RequiredTagKey1
         value: RequiredTagValue1
       - key: RequiredTagKey2
         value: RequiredTagValue2

Thank you. AWS CfCT Team. I hope my feature request will be accommodated.
