3 Resource Tag Management

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Tagging enables you to add metadata to resources by applying key/value pairs called defined tags or free-form tags. You can create tag defaults on compartments, which are tags that are automatically applied to all newly created resources in the tagged compartment. Uses for tags include:

• Applying access policies to resources. For example, you can change ownership of a resource to a different product group by changing a tag value on the resource rather than changing the resource access policy directly. See Using Defined Tags in Conditions).

• Filtering resource lists in the Compute Web UI.

For conceptual information, see the Tagging Overview and "How Policies Work" in the Identity and Access Management Overview in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Concepts Guide.
