ApsaraDB RDS:Create tags

Last Updated:Jun 21, 2026

Use tags to categorize and manage large numbers of instances. Each tag is a key-value pair that enables more detailed classification.

Limitations

  • Each instance can have a maximum of 20 tags, and each tag key must be unique per instance. If you add a tag with an existing key, the new tag value overwrites the old one.

  • You can add tags to a maximum of 50 instances in a single bulk operation.

  • Tags are region-specific.

  • The system automatically deletes a tag when it is no longer associated with any instance.

Add a tag to a single instance

  1. Log on to the ApsaraDB RDS console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which your RDS instance resides.

  2. Find the target instance and click the 标签图标 icon in the Tags column. In the dialog box that appears, click Attach. If the instance already has tags, click Edit to modify them.

  3. In the Edit Tags dialog box, enter the Tag Key and Tag Value, and then click OK.

Add tags to multiple instances

  1. Log on to the ApsaraDB RDS console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which your RDS instance resides.

  2. Select the instances that you want to tag, and then click Edit Tag at the bottom of the page.
