Tagging enables the assignment of specific labels called tags on an instance for identification in your Vultr account. Tags consist of multiple characters that help identify, organize, and manage instances in your Vultr account.

Follow this guide to manage tags on a Vultr Bare Metal instance using the Vultr Customer Portal, API, or CLI.

    Navigate to Products in the Vultr Customer Portal

  2. Click your target Bare Metal instance to open its management page.

    Open the Instance management panel

  3. Navigate to the Tags tab.

    Access the instance tags tab

  4. Enter a new tag in the Add Tag field and click Add to apply the new tag.

    Add new tag

  5. Find and click Delete within the Existing Tags section to remove a specific tag on your instance.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
