Virtual tags, exclusive to our platform, offer the same capabilities as cloud provider tags without altering your infrastructure. Safer, more flexible, and user-friendly, Virtual Tags provide an efficient way to group resources, enhance organization, and allocate costs seamlessly.
Purpose of Virtual Tags
In Tailwarden, we've introduced Virtual Tags to address the need for a non-intrusive, flexible, and user-friendly approach to resource organization and cost allocation. Here's why we've incorporated Virtual Tags into our platform:
Safety First: No Write Access to Infrastructure. Tailwarden operates without altering your cloud infrastructure. With no write access, Virtual Tags ensure a risk-free experience. Users can confidently organize resources without the fear of unintentional modifications to the underlying infrastructure.
Flexibility Unleashed: Easily Implementable by Anyone. Virtual Tags provide a flexible solution that anyone can implement effortlessly. No technical expertise required. Users can intuitively create and apply Virtual Tags, empowering them to structure resources as needed without complex configurations.
User-Friendly Resource Management: Simplifying Complex Resource Structures. Tailwarden prioritizes user-friendliness. Virtual Tags enable a straightforward and intuitive resource management experience. Users can swiftly group resources based on teams, products, or business units, enhancing overall organization and accessibility.
It's not because there are virtual tags on Tailwarden that it means we don't collect the tags on your provider - they're called Provider Tags. They are also on Tailwarden and are updated every hour. Both co-exist in Tailwarden.

Examples of Virtual Tag Excellence:
Team Collaboration: Create Virtual Tags for each team (e.g., TeamMarketing, TeamDevOps), allowing swift grouping of resources by responsible teams for efficient collaboration.
Product-Centric Organization: Assign Virtual Tags for each product (e.g., ProductA, ProductB), streamlining the organization of resources tied to specific products.
Cost Allocation by Business Unit: Establish Virtual Tags for different business units or projects (e.g., FinanceDept, ProjectX), facilitating precise cost allocation and analysis.
Resource Lifecycle Tracking: Use Virtual Tags to categorize resources based on development stages (e.g., Development, Testing), providing quick insights into resource usage throughout the lifecycle.
With Virtual Tags, Tailwarden ensures a secure, flexible, and user-centric approach to resource organization and management, making your cloud infrastructure experience more efficient and enjoyable.
