Limits on tags per resource in CS

Hi all,

Is there any limit on the number of tags I can use for a resource in
CloudStack? I use some tags for the templates and I am concerned whether I
can use as many tags as I want.

Thank you!
Krasimir

Hi Sebastien,

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking of using nearly the same approach.

Regards,
Krasimir

You might want to have a look at this piece of python:

https://github.com/NOPping/gCloud/blob/master/gcloud/controllers/operations.py#L80-L105

we used tags to store ssh keys and had to break them up un 255 segments.

Wonderful!
Each tag value cannot be longer than 255 characters. Is there any mechanism
for simulating lists with tags then?

Let me give an example. Assume that I want to associate my template with
some other resources (other templates let's say). I want to enumerate their
IDs as tags. Apparently, I cannot enumerate the IDs as I have a limitation
of 255 characters. Additionally, I want to have those tags grouped somehow:)

Hi Krasimir,

The official documentation (
https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/tagging-resources.html)
says "There is no limit on the number of tags you can define".
