A tag consists of a key-value pair. The tag key is a general label. The tag value is a description of the tag key. This topic descibes the fundamentals of tagging Amazon Inspector resources. When tagging Amazon Inspector resources, consider the following:
-
You can tag suppression rules and CIS scan configurations.
-
You can add as many as 50 tags to each of your Amazon Inspector resources.
-
Tag keys must be unique.
-
A tag key can only have one tag value.
-
Tag keys and tag values can have a maximum of 128 UTF-8 characters. The characters can be letters, numbers, spaces, or the following symbols:
_.:/=+-@. -
You cannot use the
awsprefix in any of your tags or modify tags with this prefix. Tags with theawsprefix are reserved for use by AWS. -
Tags assigned to an Amazon Inspector resource are only available in your AWS account and in the AWS Region where you created them.
-
When you delete a resource, all tags associated with it are deleted, too.
For more information about tags, see Best practices and strategies in the Tagging AWS Resources and Tag Editor User Guide.
Note
Tags are not intended to store confidential or sensitive information. Never use tags to store this type of data. Tags can be accessible from other AWS services.
