Almost all Azure resources support tags. Azure tags are metadata elements that you can apply to Azure resources. For example, you can track which department should pay for the provisioned resources by adding department=finance or department=IT tags. Tagging also enables you to easily find resources belonging to the same project and generate reports for them. In this chapter, you will add tags to resources, manage the tags, and list the resources with the same tag values.
