Organize Lightsail for Research resources with tags
With Amazon Lightsail for Research, you can assign tags to your resources. Each tag is a label that consists of a key and an optional value that can make it efficient to manage your resources. A key without a value is referred to as a key-only tag, and a key with a value is referred to as a key-value tag. Although there are no inherent types of tags, they let you categorize your resources by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria. This is useful when you have many resources of the same type. You can quickly identify a specific resource based on the tags you've assigned to it. For example, you can define a set of tags that help you track each resource’s project, or priority.
The following resources can be tagged in the Amazon Lightsail for Research console:
-
Virtual computers
-
Storage disks
-
Snapshots
The following restrictions apply to tags:
-
The maximum number of tags per resource is 50.
-
For each resource, each tag key must be unique. Each tag key can have only one value.
-
The maximum key length is 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
-
The maximum value length is 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
-
If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces, and the following characters:
+ - = . _ : / @ -
Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.
-
Don't use the
aws:prefix for keys or values. That prefix is reserved for AWS use.
