Managing tags

Tags act as metadata to organize application resources. You create tags using key-value pairs. You add tags to applications and attribute groups, so you can group them by environment, owner, purpose, or other criteria.

Note

This tag is not the same as the the AWS application tag. The AWS application tag is a user tag AppRegistry vends on your behalf when you create an application. You can add the AWS application tag to resources, so you can identify which resources are associated with an application.
