Tag Management

Overview

Tags are metadata labels that you can assign to resources (such as instances, storages, IPs, etc.). Each tag typically consists of a key-value pair—for example, Environment=Production or Owner=Alice.

Tag Key	Tag Value	Use Case
Owner	Alice, Team‑DevOps, Console	Identify who is responsible for the resource.
Product	Bare Metal, Elastic Compute	Associate resources with a specific service.
Department	FIN123, HR‑456, ENG‑789	Enable cost allocation and billing transparency across departments.
Classification	Public, Internal, Confidential, Sensitive	Indicate the sensitivity or classification of data stored in or processed by the resource.

Purpose and Use:

1. Resource Organization: Tags help group and categorize resources logically, even if they are spread across different regions or accounts.

2. Access Control: Some cloud platforms allow policies or permissions to be applied based on tags.

3. Billing and Cost Management: Tags make it easier to track costs for specific projects, departments, or teams.

4. Automation: Scripts and tools can automatically manage resources (start, stop, backup) based on tags.

Create a Tag

1. Go to > Team Settings > Tag > Create Tag.

   
2. Enter a new key and a new value to create a new tag, or select a key to add a value to it. One key can have multiple values. You can create up to 20 tags at a time.

3. You can also upload an Excel file in the example format to create tags in bulk.

   

Bind Resources

After creating a tag, you can bing resources to this tag in Actions > Bind Resources.

You can also unbind resources on Details page.

Delete a Tag

If you don't need a tag anymore, you can delete it in Actions > Delete.

Note

Tags can only be deleted if they have no resources bound.

If a tag has resources bound, you can unbind them before deleting the tag.
