Use resource tags

Use tags to add metadata to Aiven resources to categorize them or run custom logic on them. Tags can be attached to projects and services.

Typical uses include:

  • Tagging for governance to deploy services with specific tags only.
  • Tagging for internal cost reporting, ownership, allocation and accountability.

A tag is a key/value pair, where:

  • key: A case-sensitive string that much match [A-Za-z0-9_-] and start with a letter. The maximum length for a key is 64 characters.
  • value: A string value limited to 64 UTF-8 characters.

Within a resource, the tag keys must be unique.
