Creating vSphere Tags

You create a vSphere tag to add metadata to objects in the vSphere inventory.

Tags are grouped in categories and each tag must have at least one category related to it. After you create the tag, you can associate the tag with a vSphere object.

Tags and categories can span multiple vCenter Server instances.

• If multiple on-premises vCenter Server instances are configured to use Enhanced Linked Mode, tags and tag categories are replicated across all these vCenter Server instances.
• When you use Hybrid Linked Mode, tags and tag categories are maintained across your linked domain. That means the on-premises SDDC and the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC share tags and tag attributes. For more information about Hybrid Linked Mode, see "Hybrid Linked Mode" in the VMware Cloud on AWS Product Documentation.
