# 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**. {% hint style="info" %} **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. {% endhint %}
