Tagging a Distribution Channel

Add tags to a distribution channel in Media Streams to organize your resources according to your business needs. Adding tags is optional.

You can add tags at the time you create a resource, or you can update the resource later with the required tags. This task describes how to add tags to an existing channel. For general information about applying tags, see Resource Tags.

In addition to tagging distribution channels, you can tag the following Media Streams resources:

  • Packaging configurations
  • CDN configurations
