Managing VPC Tags

Scenarios

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

You can add a tag to a VPC when creating the VPC, or you can add a tag to a created VPC on the VPC details page. A maximum of 10 tags can be added to each VPC.

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