Tagging resources

User-defined tags identify groups of resources and can be referenced in application processes.

About this task

Applications can be configured to use or ignore resources with a specific tag. For example, a continually running environment might take one group of blue-tagged servers offline to update them, then put them back online and take another green-tagged group offline.

Procedure

  1. Open the Resources page.
  2. Hover the mouse over a resource. The Add Tag icon appears in the row.
  3. Click Add Tag.
  4. In the new window, take one of these actions:
    • Select an existing tag from the list.
    • Click Create New Tag to create a tag. Type a tag name and select a tag color. Optionally, type a description for the tag. Click Save.

What to do next

Many application process steps can reference user-defined tags. To use a tag, specify the tag with the Limit to Tag parameter for the step. For information about application processes, see Creating application processes.
