Managing RabbitMQ Instance Tags

Tags facilitate RabbitMQ instance identification and management.

You can add tags to a RabbitMQ instance when creating the instance or add tags on the Instance > Tags page of the created instance. Tags can be deleted.

If your organization has configured tag policies for DMS for RabbitMQ, add tags to RabbitMQ instances based on the tag policies. If a tag added on the Instance > Tags page does not comply with the tag policies, the tag fails to be added.

A tag consists of a tag key and a tag value. Table 1 lists the tag key and value requirements.
