How to tag machines

Tags for different objects have similar purposes, but they aren’t necessarily administered in the same way – so we’ve included detailed articles for each tag type. That said, many of the common operations regarding tags are performed in the same way. This article will present some general, explanatory information, and then look at tag management steps that are the same (or very similar) across all types of MAAS tags.

How to name tags

When working with tags, there are some universal rules you need to follow:

  1. Tag names can include any combination of alphabetic letters (a-zA-Z), numbers (0-9), dashes (-) and underscores (_).
  2. Tag names can be a maximum of 256 characters in length.
  3. Tag names cannot include spaces.

In general, names that do not conform to these rules cannot be created.
