Adds tags to the resources of various Alibaba Cloud services.

Tags are used to identify cloud resources. The tags allow you to categorize, search for, and aggregate cloud resources that have the same characteristics from different dimensions. This facilitates resource management. For more information, see Tag overview.

In this example, the tags k1:v1 and k2:v2 are added to the virtual private cloud (VPC) vpc-bp19dd90tkt6tz7wu**** in the cn-hangzhou region.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters
