Cost Tags

You or HUAWEI CLOUD assigns tags to your HUAWEI CLOUD resources so they can be sorted in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. You can use cost tags to manage resources and activate them to track your HUAWEI CLOUD costs.

Step 1: Adding Tags to Cloud Resources

For details, see Adding Tags to Cloud Resources. Generally, tags are displayed on the Cost Tags page 24 hours after they were created and the corresponding resources generated expenditures.

Step 2: Activating Tags

For details, see Activating Cost Tags. Only the activated tags can be viewed on the Cost Analysis and Budgets pages.

If you activate the tags, they will be used to organize your resource costs generated thereafter. If you want to use tags to analyze the cost data generated before tag activation, export bill details and analyze the data based on the Resource Tag field in the bill details.

Step 3: Viewing Cost Data Based on Tags

  1. Log in to the HUAWEI CLOUD management console and go to Cost Center.
  2. Choose Cost Analysis.
  3. Set Grouped By to Cost Tags to group cost data by a specific tag.

    • Cost data grouped by a cost tag

    • Cost data filtered by cost tags
