Managing VPC Tags

Scenarios

You can add tags to VPCs to help you identify and organize them.

You can add tags when creating a VPC or add tags to existing VPCs.

Each cloud resource can have a maximum of 20 tags.

If your organization has configured tag policies for VPCs, you need to add tags to your VPCs based on the policies. If you add a tag that does not comply with the tag policies, VPCs may fail to be created. Contact your administrator to learn more about tag policies.

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