Managing VPC Tags

Scenarios

Tags help you identify, classify, and search for VPCs. You can perform the following operations to manage VPC tags:

Add tags to a VPC.
Modify a VPC tag.
Delete a VPC tag.

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.

For details about VPC tag requirements, see Table 1.
