    Elastic IP Address:Manage tags

    Last Updated:Jan 24, 2024

    Elastic IP Address (EIP) supports tag management. You can tag EIPs to facilitate resource search and aggregation.

    Overview

    标签图解

    As shown in the preceding figure, it is difficult to manage a large number of EIPs. You can use tags to group EIPs. This allows you to search and filter EIPs in a more efficient way.

    Tags are used to classify instances. Each tag consists of a key-value pair. Before you use tags, take note of the following limits:

    • Each tag key added to an 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, tags created in the China (Hangzhou) region are not displayed in the China (Shanghai) region.

    • You can modify the key and value of a tag or remove a tag from an instance. If you delete an instance, all tags added to the instance are deleted. This operation does not affect the tags added to other instances.

    Limits

    You can add up to 20 tags to each EIP. You cannot increase the quota.
