Learn how to create, assign, and delete tags for each dedicated server from the OVHcloud Control Panel.

Tags are labels that can be attributed to your resources, allowing you to organize and manage them more efficiently.

Each tag consists of two parts:

  • Key: Represents an attribute or category.
  • Value: Corresponds to the information associated with that key.

For example, you can categorize your resources by site, service, or even security level. Using tags can make it easier to search, organize your resources, manage associated costs, and apply policies with the desired granularity.

In the window that pops up, click in the Key field to open the dropdown menu, then select the key you want.

Next, click in the Value field and select the appropriate value from the dropdown menu.

If you want to use a key or value that does not yet exist, you can create it by entering it, then clicking Add your-value, where "your-value" corresponds to the text you have entered.

Finally, click the Add button to create the tag, then click the Assign button in the lower right-hand part of the window.
