RDS for MariaDB Tags

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. Other cloud services manage only their own tags.

  • Log in to the management console, and choose Management & Deployment > Tag Management Service. Predefine tags in TMS.
  • A tag consists of a key and value. You can add only one value for each key.
  • A maximum of 20 tags can be added for each DB instance.

Editing a Tag

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > Relational Database Service.
  3. On the Instances page, click the instance name to go to the Overview page.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Tags.
  5. Click Edit Tag. On the displayed page, click Add, enter the tag key and 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 your DB instances (except the current instance).
    • The tag key must be unique. It must consist of 1 to 128 characters and can include letters, digits, spaces, and the following characters: _ . : = + - @. It cannot start or end with a space, or start with _sys_.
    • The tag value (optional) can consist of up to 255 characters and can include letters, digits, spaces, and the following characters: _ . : / = + - @

  6. View and manage the tag on the Tags page.
