A tag is a key-value pair used to identify a resource. Tags allow you to group and manage cloud computers, which simplifies searching and batch operations.
Background
As your number of cloud computers grows, tags help you organize and identify them beyond their names. You can bind tags to cloud computers with similar management needs, which enables streamlined filtering and operations. Each cloud computer can have up to 20 tags. You can define tags based on your business requirements. For example:
Dimension | Key | Value |
Organizational structure | department | Department name, such as MD or FD. |
Business structure | project | Business project name, such as projectA or projectB. |
Job role | position | Job title, such as designer or programmer. |
Keep the following in mind when you use tags:
Each tag is a key-value pair. The tag key for a resource must be unique. For example, if you bind the tag
department:MDto a cloud computer and then binddepartment:FD, the system automatically unbinds the originaldepartment:MDtag.A tag is automatically deleted when it is no longer bound to any resource.
Tags are not shared across regions.

You can bind tags when you purchase a cloud computer, or you can bind them to an existing cloud computer. This section describes how to bind tags to an existing cloud computer.
