Tags

Tags in a cloud-based environment are metadata labels that can be attached to resources such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and network interfaces. When appropriately utilized, tags can help categorize and organize resources based on various attributes like environment, department, or application. Likewise, they can also be used to enforce security policies or assist in defining and managing access controls. By tagging resources, administrators can set permissions that align with the roles and responsibilities associated with those tags. Within the Multicloud Defense Controller, tags provide a list of all VPCs/VNets, subnets, security groups, instances and load balancers that are configured with tags.

To learn about resource tagging and how it can improve your policy implementation, see Resource Tagging in Objects for more information.
