How to query ECI split bills based on tags - Resource Management

Tags let you categorize ECI resources for enterprise cost allocation. After you tag resources, you can view split bills and analyze costs by tag or cost center.

Add tags to ECI resources

Tags mark ECI resources that share management or business requirements, making them easier to categorize and filter. The following table lists the ECI resource types that support tags.

Scenario	Resource type	References
Use the ECI console or call an API operation	ECI instance	Use tags to manage ECI instances
	image cache	Manage image caches
	virtual node	Connect a self-managed Kubernetes cluster to a VNode
Use annotations to add tags to ECI instances in a Kubernetes cluster	ECI instance	Add custom tags to an ECI pod

By default, ECI instances that are created in Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) have the following tags:

ManagedBy: The cluster type.
ClusterId: The cluster ID.
NameSpace: The namespace of the cluster.
OwnerReferenceKind: The workload type created in the cluster, such as Deployment or Job.
OwnerReferenceName: The workload name created in the cluster, such as a Deployment name or a Job name.
PodName: The pod name.
