Tag

If you have a large number of cloud resources, you can add different tags to the resources to quickly identify them and use these tags to easily manage your resources.

You can also select Edit Tags of Associated Resources to manage tags of the resources associated with a load balancer in a unified manner. Modifications to the load balancer tags will also be synchronized to the tags of the selected associated resources. However, if the tags conflict with existing tags of the associated resources, or the associated resource tag quota is exceeded, the synchronization will fail.

Constraints

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