Tag Types¶
Tag functions have been upgraded on the platform. After the upgrade, a tag consists of a key and a value. Keys and values comply with the following rules:
For the tags created after the upgrade, all characters in tags are automatically used as a key, and the value is empty. Tags consist of only digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
For the tags that have been created before the upgrade:
If no period (.) is used in tags, all characters in tags are used as a key, and the value is empty.
If periods (.) are used in tags, the characters before the first period are used as a key and the characters after the first period are used as a value.
After the tag function upgrade, tag management APIs are classified as the APIs for 1D tags and the APIs for 2D tags.
A 1D tag contains a string. All APIs for 1D tags are native OpenStack APIs. For details, see this section.
A 2D tag consists of a key and a value. All APIs for 2D tags are ECS APIs. For details, see Tag Management.
Note
You are advised to use the APIs of the same type to add, delete, modify, or query tags.
You are advised to use 2D tags.
