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 Cloud GPU instance using the Vultr Customer Portal, API, or CLI.

  3. Navigate to the Tags tab.

    Access the instance tags tab
