Adding and removing tags for templates
Tags help you organize and search for templates. Any user can add a tag to a template.
- Tags are single-value strings, well-suited for adding metadata to resources and for searching and filtering.
- Use tags for common attributes that you care about across your environments.
- Use simple and easy to read text strings for tags.
- Tags have a 255-character limit.
- A single environment can have a maximum of 1,000 tags.
- Tags aren’t case-sensitive (for example,
ABCD
,abcd
, andaBcD
are treated as the same value). - Tags can’t include semicolon (;) or comma (,) characters.
