Cloud server tags

Tags are labels that can be added to cloud servers. With tags, you can:

  • add additional information about a server: image, configuration, server purpose, environment where the server is used, and other characteristics;
  • filter servers in the list.

You can add a tag to an existing cloud server or when creating a server.

Limitations

The maximum number of tags for one cloud server is 10.

An added tag cannot be changed — you must delete the tag and add a new one.
