Quick Into: How to use OCI Tagging to enhance and improve Oracle Cloud Governance

Quick Into: How to use OCI Tagging to enhance and improve Oracle Cloud Governance.

There is a very good blog post by Kris Bhanushali and Adithya Raam Sankar Senior Product Managers at Oracle on How to use OCI Tagging to enhance and improve Oracle Cloud Governance.

Here is a quick intro on How to use OCI Tagging to enhance and improve Oracle Cloud Governance.

• The constant challenge of keeping track of cloud resources can be resolved by applying  the same set of corporate standards to cloud resources as they are applied to on-prem resources.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has introduced a standardized best practice approach to managing cloud resources using a set of standard tags.
• Oracle Standard Tags is a set of tag namespaces that governance administrators can deploy in their tenancy to enhance Oracle Cloud governance.
• The namespaces are a collection of most commonly used tags which allow oracle cloud customers to categorize resources for improving security / availability, managing costs as well as improving/enhancing the overall Oracle cloud experience. 
• You can simply select the Oracle Standard Tag namespaces to make these tags available for assignment across the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) tenancy.
