Configuring Tag Defaults (IAM on the Appliance)

On Private Cloud Appliance, a tag default is a defined tag that is automatically applied to resources that are created in the specified compartment.

Tag defaults have the following characteristics:

• The tag default is applied to all new resources that are created in that compartment, including in child compartments.

• The tag default is not applied to resources that already existed before the tag default was created.

• Tag defaults cannot be changed by creating or editing resources. With permission to use the tag namespace, you can change the value of the tag when you create or modify a resource. To change the tag default that will be applied to all new resources in the compartment, you must update the tag default on the compartment.

• If you change the default value of the tag default, existing occurrences of that tag default on resources are not updated.

• If you change a value of a tag key definition whose value is a defined list, or if you delete a tag key definition, existing occurrences of a tag default that is based on that tag key definition are not updated. Tag default values must be separately updated.

See Retiring a Tag Key Definition and Deleting a Tag Key Definition for information about the effect on tag defaults of retiring or deleting tag key definitions.
