How to assign a tag to a Bare Metal server

Objective

Tags are labels that can be attributed to your resources, allowing you to organize and manage them more efficiently.

Each tag consists of two parts:

• Key: Represents an attribute or category.
• Value: Corresponds to the information associated with that key.

For example, you can categorize your resources by site, service, or even security level. Using tags can make it easier to search, organize your resources, manage associated costs, and apply policies with the desired granularity.

This guide explains how to create, assign and delete tags for each dedicated server from the OVHcloud Control Panel.

Requirements

• A dedicated server in your OVHcloud account.
