You can add tags to cloud resources in either of the following ways:
- Adding tags on the TMS console
When you need to tag a batch of cloud resources, add tags on the TMS console.
- Adding tags on the consoles of other cloud services
When you use the resources of a specific service, you can add tags on the corresponding service console. For new cloud resources, you can configure tag items when configuring parameters.
Note- You can use predefined tags to tag resources without the need to enter tag keys and values. Predefined tags are more efficient and less error-prone.
- It is strongly recommended that you do not place confidential or sensitive information (such as your customer's name, email address, or mobile number) in the tag field.
Constraints
- Each resource supports up to 10 key-value pairs.
- For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one tag value.
- A tag key can contain a maximum of 36 characters, including digits, letters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
- A tag value can contain a maximum of 43 characters, including digits, letters, underscores (_), periods (.), and hyphens (-).
