Tag

With Tag, you can create tags for resources as needed, and quickly locate the required resources according to the tag type and tag name.
  • You can create tags with different colors, simple style, and brief language. You can also bind tags to resources and search resources by using tags. This will improve the search efficiency.
  • Two types of tag are available: admin tags and tenant tags.
    • Admin tags are created and owned by administrators (admins or platform admins), and can be bound to VM instances, volumes, hosts, and bare metal instances.
    • Tenant tags are created and owned by tenants (regular accounts or projects), and can be bound to VM instances and volumes.
  • Currently, you can bind tags to or unbind tags from VM instances, volumes, hosts, and bare metal instances.

Tag Page

In the navigation pane of the ZStack Private Cloud UI, choose Platform Management > Tag. Then, the Tag page is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Tag Page


The tag page displays the created tags and the related information, such as the tag name, color, total count of resources to which the tags bind, and the tag owner. You can search a created tag by using the search box in the upper left corner, or view the created tags by clicking the page flip button or the drop-down menu in the upper right corner.

Create Tag

On the Tag page, click Create Tag. On the displayed Create Tag page, set the following parameters:
  • Name: Enter a name for the tag.
    • The length of the tag name cannot exceed 20 characters.
    • The tag name is case-sensitive.
    • Tags are unique. The same roles can have only one tag with the same name and color.
  • Color: Select a tag color.
You can create a tag, as shown in Figure 2.

Tag Operations

  • Create tag: Create a new tag.
  • Delete: Delete an existing tag. Deleting a tag will also unbind the tag from the associated resources.
  • Unbind resource: Unbind a tag from a resource.

Notice

  • Admin tags are created and owned by administrators (admins or platform admins), while tenant tags are created and owned by tenants (regular accounts or projects).
  • Tags created by tenants can only be bound to resources of the corresponding tenants, while admin tags can be bound to all of your resources.
  • Administrators can unbind or delete tenant tags.
  • Tags in a project are owned by the project. Therefore, all members, including the head of project, project administrator, and project member, can perform operations on these tags.
  • Currently, tag owners cannot be changed.
  • When you change a resource owner, all tenant tags bound to the resource will be unbound. However, the admin tags are not affected.
  • After the Cloud is upgraded seamlessly, the existing tags will be updated accordingly and displayed in the latest way. If an exception occurs, refresh your browser or create a new tag.
