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.

The maximum number of tags per resource is defined upon your account creation. To modify this limit, contact our Support team at support@outscale.com.

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.
