Cost Tag Management

Scenario

You can configure cost tags to classify and track pod costs.

Tag Naming Rules

• Each tag consists of a key-value pair. Example:

  pod-tag.cci.io/<tag-key>:tag-value

• Each pod can have a maximum of 20 tags.
• A tag key must be unique for each pod, and each tag key can have only one tag value.
• A tag consists of a tag key and a tag value. Table 1 lists the tag key and value requirements.
