Learn how tagging works in cost management and the strategies for managing your cost data with tags and labels.

Use tagging in cost management and implement strategies for managing your cost data with tags and labels so you can allocate costs to different parts of your environment and get a more accurate view of your cost data.

Tags, which are also known as labels in OpenShift, are strings of custom metadata that you can assign to resources. In cost management, tags enable you to allocate costs to different parts of your environment and get a more accurate view of your cost data.

You can use tags in conjunction with hierarchies, such as projects, in your clouds and clusters. Cloud providers place limits on the number of tags that you can associate with resources, so you should plan a tagging strategy for cost management.
