Create or bind a tag

This topic describes how to create or bind a tag to resources in the ECS console. If multiple resources that are associated with each other exist in your account, you can bind tags to the resources. This allows you to categorize and manage the resources in a centralized manner.

1. Log on to the ECS console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Tags.
3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.
4. On the Tags tab, click Create/Bind Tags.
5. In the Create/Bind Tags dialog box, perform the following steps:
   1. Create a tag or select an existing tag. Click Next.
      • Tag Key: required. You can select an existing tag key or enter a new tag key. You can perform fuzzy search by prefix and bind up to 10 tag keys at a time.

        The tag key can be up to 128 characters in length and cannot contain http:// or https://. It cannot start with acs: or aliyun.

        Note If you want to bind an existing tag, select its tag key. If you want to create a tag, enter a new tag key.
      • Tag Value: optional. You can select an existing tag value or enter a tag value.

        The tag value can be up to 128 characters in length and cannot contain http:// or https://. It cannot start with acs: or aliyun.

        Note If you want to bind an existing tag, select its tag value.
