Creates tags and adds the tags to specified resources at a time.
Description
A tag is a label that you can add to an instance. Each tag consists of a key and a value. Before you add tags, take note of the following limits:
- The keys of tags that are added to the same instance must be unique.
- You cannot create tags without adding them to instances. All tags must be added to instances.
-
Tag information is not shared across regions.
For example, in the China (Shanghai) region, you cannot view tags created in the China (Hangzhou) region.
-
Virtual private clouds (VPCs), route tables, VSwitches, and elastic IP addresses (EIPs) under the same account and in the same region share tag information with each other.
For example, if you have added a tag to a VPC, the tag is available to VSwitches, route tables, and EIPs under the same account and in the same region where the VPC is created. You can select this tag from the editing page without the need to enter the tag again. You can modify the key and value of a tag or remove a tag from an instance anytime. After you delete an instance, all tags that are added to the instance are deleted.
- You can add up to 20 tags to each instance. Before you add a tag to an instance, the system automatically checks the number of existing tags. If the maximum number of tags is reached, an error message is returned.
