How to update cloud resource ownership automatically

When employees change roles or leave, cloud resources often retain outdated ownership tags, leaving ex-owners with lingering approval rights. The New Stack outlines a way for companies to spot and update these tags automatically by cross-referencing cloud access logs—so when someone hasn't used a resource in 90 days, the system flags it for review. It's a cheap fix: just a scheduled query, not a big new process.

• Cloud environments often keep old owner tags
• Query access logs to spot inactive owners
• AWS, Azure, and GCP each need slightly different queries
• Fix is simple, not an expensive overhaul
