Feature Overview

Tencent Cloud Tag: tag is a resource management tool provided by Tencent Cloud. You can use tags to categorize, search for, and aggregate Tencent Cloud resources. A tag has two parts: tag key and tag value. You can create a tag by defining its tag key and tag value based on conditions such as the resource usage and resource owner. For more information, please see Product Overview.
Configure alarm by tag: Tencent Cloud Tag enables you to quickly filter Tencent Cloud resources under bound tags. This can help promptly update alarm policies for tagged instance quantity changes, reduce the costs of secondary modification of alarm policies, and implement tag-based automatic monitoring.

Use Cases
