Chapter 3.4 - Tagging Resources

Describing Resource Tagging

• What Are Tags?
  • Tags inside of Azure are simple just a name-value pair
    • Name:Value
      • Dept:Marketing
      • Env:Prod
  • Name can be 512 characters, and value can be 256 characters
  • Storage accounts can have a name with only 128 characters

Resource Tag Assignment Hierarchy

• Tags are not inherited
  • You can create Azure Policies and create a policy that forced this inheritance of these tags for things inside of resource groups for example
• A resource can have up to 50 tags

Key Takeaways

• Manage resources via tags. For example, shutting down all VMs with a specific tag or developers can only update VMs with a specific tag
• Tags are not inherited from the higher scope like a resource group. Each resource must be tagged independently. You can use Azure Policy to enforce tagging
