Virtual Private Cloud:TagResources

Last Updated:Dec 07, 2025

Creates and attaches tags to VPC peering connections.

Operation description

A tag is a mark that you assign to a resource. Each tag consists of a key-value pair. Take note the following:

  • Each tag key must be unique for a resource.

  • You cannot create unattached tags.

  • Tags are region-specific.

    For example, tags that you create in the China (Hangzhou) region are not visible in the China (Shanghai) region.

  • Within the same account and region, tags are shared across different VPC peering connections.

     For example, if you attach a tag to a VPC peering connection in your account and region, you can attach the same tag to other VPC peering connections without re-entering the key-value pair. You can modify the key and value of a tag, or delete a tag from an instance at any time. If you delete an instance, all tags attached to it are also deleted.
    
  • You can attach a maximum of 20 tags to an instance. Before attaching a tag, the system verifies the number of existing tags on the resource. If this limit is exceeded, an error message is returned.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
