Might it be possible to put all the resources under the same tag, ie, 

FedoraGroup: infra
  volumes:
...
  instances:
...

That way it's easier if you are looking at only one group. 
Or, perhaps a more csv type thing?

Group,region,kind,size/type/count

infra,us-west-2,volume,gp3,500GB
infra,us-west-2,instance,t2.large,3

But in any case, thanks, this will be helpful over time.

I think monthly is about right.
