About Tags

Tags are labels that enable you to categorize your resources and identify them.

For example, you can use tags to make inventories of your resources, as you can filter resources that share the same tag.

General Information

A tag is a combination of a key and a value that must be unique for each resource. You can use tags to categorize your resources depending on their operating system, environment, applications, version, and so on.

No tags are added by default to your resources. When adding a tag, you can:

  • Specify both a key and a value

  • Specify a key only, without a value

If you specify an already-existing key for the same resource, no new, duplicate tag is created. Instead, the value of the existing tag is updated.

For more information, see Adding or Removing Tags.
