Leveraging Tags and Labels for AWS, GCP and Azure DocumentationCategory: Database, Data, automation
Tags are essentially pairs of user defined metadata made up of a name and a value that are added to resources when they are created. Tag Name : Tag Valueenvironment : development team : security department : devops status : production and Azure these are referred to as “Tags” whereas GCP refers to these as “Labels” apart from some network components where they are referenced as “Network Tags”.
One of the most common uses for tagging is to segregate billing information so you are able to report on network costs and usage for individual business units within your organisation or to perform automation processes on groups of resources with the same tag.
ie: or via API ie: Once you have well tagged resources you can leverage your tags to create custom diagrams within Hava.
Just as you can specify tags to search and diagram, you can also exclude tags by adding a “-” prefix.
