AzureAutoTagger

Azure AutoTagger is a lightweight, low-cost serverless solution that can easily be deployed to an Azure subscription. Once deployed Azure AutoTagger monitors for ResourceWriteSucess events within the subscription and triggers an Azure Function to automatically apply a LastModifiedTimestamp and LastModifiedBy tag.
