Overview

The Baidu AI Cloud provides the tag management feature, which is able to quickly classify, identify and manage resources through adding a tag to each cloud resource.

Before using tags, you need to learn the following issues:

• Tag: Each tag consists of two parts, namely, the key and value, and each tag (the key and value) is unique.
• Single tag and batch tags: Tags can be set up for a single resource or cloud resources in batch.
• Sorting and searching: Searching and sorting resources by tag (the key and value) is supported.
• Cross-product tag: The same tag can be added to different products. For example, the same tag can be added to the DCC, and its associated CDS and EIP uniformly.

Limit

Each user can create up to 200 tags.

Add a Tag

The user with multiple Baidu Cloud Compute can add tags to the DCC instances and their sub-instances according to project and scenario requirements. With the help of resource classification and management through adding tags to resources, the DCC resources in the complicated scenarios can be managed flexibly and efficiently.

The operation steps are as follows:

1. Log in to the management console to enter the "Product Service > DCC".
2. Select a region on the top of the page, click the "Instance" on the left navbar, and then click "Dedicated Instance" to enter the dedicated instance page.
3. Select one or more dedicated instances and then click “Edit a Tag” on the action bar.
4. In the pop-up dialog box, enter a custom tag key and a tag value. Note that each “Tag key” must be unique, and the tag value can be left null.

5. Click "OK" to complete the tag creation.

   Note:

   • When multiple dedicated instances are created in batch, tags can only be added, but the existing tags cannot be managed.

Sort and Search Tags

Sort tags

The user can sort cloud resource tags in the console through clicking the column name "Tag".

Search a Tag

Search a tag by combining different filtering conditions to obtain accurate results from the Baidu Cloud Compute. You can filter data by tag key and tag value:

• All values, indicating all custom values under the current key.
• A null value, indicating a value that has not been set under the current key.

Delete a Tag

If a created tag is not going to be used anymore, you can delete it.

The operation steps are as follows:

1. Log in to the management console to enter the "Product Service > DCC".
2. Click "Tag Management" on the left navbar to enter the tag list page.
3. Select a tag name, and then click "Delete" on the action bar.
4. In the pop-up dialog, click “Ok” to delete this tag. After the tag is deleted, it cannot be recovered anymore, and the system is going to automatically unbind the previous resources.

Resource Bill

The resource bill is a feature to record the lifecycle and consumption-related data of each resource, facilitating the user to view the resources and consumption data of products in the dimension of resources.

The operation steps are as follows:

1. Log in to the management console and then enter "Product Service > DCC".
2. Click "Tag Management" on the left navbar to enter the tag list page.
3. Select a tag and then click "View a Bill" on the action bar.

4. Enter the resource bill page, and then select the month of the bill to be viewed. Afterwards, the consumption information of the current tag resource is going to be shown. You can also search a tag with combined filtering conditions, select consumption details of other tags by tag key and tag value, and then download the relevant information.

   Note: It also supports retrieval by instance ID to view the consumption information of the concerned instance.

5. Click “View Details” to view the instance ID, product name and bill amount. The instance may have both prepaid and postpaid bills, so click “View Details” of an instance to view the prepaid and postpaid bills by tab respectively.

Notes:

1. Because the prepaid consumption is one-time consumption, such kind of information can only be shown in the current creation month. The postpaid consumption information is going to be shown during the usage duration starting from the creation month.
2. The tag billing feature supports all products that can be labeled with tags.
