Resource Tagging and Costing
The Deployer adds ownership tags on all of the cloud resources it creates so it can track its actions. This is also convenient for cost accounting.
The default tags are as follows:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| cluster_yellowbrick_io_creator | yb-install |
| cluster_yellowbrick_io_owner | yb-install |
| cluster_yellowbrick_io_instance | <instance-name> |
If a cloud resource does not have these tags, or if the values are unexpected, it will not be destroyed during the uninstallation process.
Custom tags
Additional tags can be added to the cloud resources to be created by using the --tags/-t flag in the install command or in the web user interface. These tags will not be checked at uninstallation time.
Please be aware that each cloud provider may have specific constraints regarding the format of tags.
On Google Cloud Platform, labels are used to store the ownership and custom tags, as they are more suited for tracking and reporting costs.
