Managing Tags

Scenarios

Tag Management Service (TMS) enables you to use tags on the management console to manage resources. TMS works with other cloud services to manage tags. TMS manages tags globally, and other cloud services manage their own tags.

• You are advised to configure predefined tags on the TMS console.
• A tag consists of a key and value. You can add only one value for each key.
• Each instance can have up to 20 tags.

2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
3. Click in the upper left corner of the page, choose Database > GaussDB(for MySQL).
4. On the Instances page, click the instance name to go to the Basic Information page.
5. On the Tags page, click Add Tag. In the displayed dialog box, enter a tag key and a tag value, and click OK.
   • When you enter a tag key and value, the system automatically displays all tags (including predefined tags and resource tags) associated with all instances except the current one.
   • The tag key must be unique and must consist of 1 to 36 characters. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed.
   • The tag value can be empty or consist of 1 to 43 characters. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.) are allowed.
