Default tags for cloud resources

In addition to the cloud platform tags that you specify in an

advanced configuration

, the Secure Agent assigns several default tags to resources. The default tags assist the cluster operator, services on the cloud platform, and data governance. Do not override the default tags.

The following table describes tags that the agent also assigns to cluster nodes to report information about the cluster:

Cloud platform tag	Description
infa:ccs:hostname	The host name of the Secure Agent machine that started the cluster. If the Secure Agent machine stops unexpectedly and the Secure Agent restarts on a different machine, the host name is the original Secure Agent machine.
infa:k8scluster:configname	Name of the advanced configuration that is used to create the cluster.
infa:k8scluster:workdir	Staging directory that the cluster uses.

Some default tags do not have a namespace and can conflict with the user-defined tags that you specify in an

advanced configuration

. For example, the cluster operator automatically adds the Name and KubernetesCluster tags to all resources, but the tags do not have a namespace. If you specify a user-defined tag with the same name, such as KubernetesCluster, the cluster operator overrides the user-defined tag with the default tag.

Issues can occur when you override default tags. Do not override the following default tags:

Name

KubernetesCluster

k8s.io/cluster-autoscaler/enabled

k8s.io/cluster-autoscaler/<cluster instance ID>.k8s.local
