Introduction to tag policies

Excerpt

Abiquo 6.0 introduces tag policies to allow or deny the creation of valid resources with (or without) the defined tags. Abiquo does not enforce tag policies on resources, instead it creates a report of invalid resources for the administrator to manage. Abiquo tag policies apply to both Abiquo local multicloud tags and their corresponding tags in supported cloud providers.

To work with tag policies, the user will need the additional privileges to:

  • Access tag policies view

  • Manage tag policies

The administrator can manage tag policies in the Control view in the Tag management section, on the Tag policies tab. (The Tag management → Entities tab from previous versions is now the Search tab.)

You will need to specify the action of the tag policy, which is to Allow or Deny the creation of tags and values.
