Tagging Overview
The Tagging module lets you label cloud resources so you can classify, search, and track them by project, environment, or owning team.
What is a tag
A tag has three parts:
- Key — the classification name, for example:
environment,team,project - Value — the specific value, for example:
production,backend,infra-2026 - Color — the color shown in the UI (8 colors: gray, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, indigo, purple)
Tags are stored at the organization level — they can be assigned to any resource and are not scoped to a single VPC.
What you can do
