Quickly Marking Cloud Resources Using Predefined Tags

When more cloud resources need to be created during resource migration or service expansion, resources can be directly associated with predefined tags. This avoids the errors and low efficiency in repeated creation of tags.

A batch of ECSs is to be migrated to the cloud. After the migration is complete, you can use either of the following methods to quickly and accurately add the tags mentioned in Adding Tags to ECSs by Department and Type to those resources.

Figure 1 Creating or importing predefined tags

• Create predefined tags.
  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Under Management & Governance, select Tag Management Service.
  3. Select Predefined Tags.
  4. Click Create Tag.
  5. In the dialog box displayed, configure Key and Value. You can add tags based on Table 1.
  6. Click OK.
• Import predefined tags.
  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Under Management & Governance, select Tag Management Service.
  3. Choose Predefined Tags.
  4. Click Import and select the target tag file.
  5. Click OK.

     The predefined tags are imported.

     

     This function only supports CSV files in UTF-8 format. The tag style in the file must be the same as that in the TMS import template.

You can add predefined tags to resources (ECS as an example) in either of the following ways:

• On the TMS console, search for ECSs, select target ECSs, and add tags to them.
• On ECS console, select an ECS, go to the ECS details page, and add tags to it.

When tagging the newly migrated ECSs on the TMS or ECS console, you can select predefined tags from the drop-down list to associate them with resources. This avoids the errors and low efficiency caused by manual input. After a resource is associated with a predefined tag, the resource can be quickly queried by tag.
