Using Resource Tags

A resource tag is a user-defined key/value information pair that you attach to your cluster definition. The tag is displayed under the cluster name on the Clusters page.

Resource tags

You can use tags to categorize your cloud resources or search for resources that are used for specific teams or applications. For example, you may want to include a tag that specifies team/ db-ops to make it easy to identify the resources that are used by the db-ops team.

Adding a resource tag

To add a resource tag to a cluster that was created without resource tags, select Manage Tags from the Actions drop-down, and then select Add Resource Tag; specify the Key and Value to add resource tags. The new tags will be displayed with a / used as a delimiter. After defining the tag(s), select Update Tags to update the tags associated with the cluster.

Note

The Key for each resource tag must be unique among the keys for the selected cluster.

To modify the resource tags associated with a cluster, select the Edit tags label in the cluster header or Manage Tags from the Actions drop-down.

Editing a resource tag

  • To change the Value associated with a Key, type over the currently displayed value.

  • To add a new resource tag, select Add Resource Tag, and then specify the Key and Value in the open fields.

When you're finished, select Update Tags to update the tags associated with the cluster.
