Cost Allocation Tags

Labeling resources for tracking costs and chargebacks

For Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) environments, you can assign tags (name/value pairs) to storage and compute assets created through the ACM. That gives you more flexibility in tracking costs and in doing chargebacks.

To work with them, click the icon on the Environment summary view and select Cost Allocation Tags from the dropdown menu. You’ll see a list of key / value pairs:

Working with tags is straightforward; the button creates a new tag, and the trash can icon deletes one. Be aware that if you’re running Altinity.Cloud in our cloud (you have a SaaS environment), you can’t define cost allocation tags:

You can use the macro $(label:clickhouse.altinity.com/chi) to insert the name of the current ClickHouse® cluster. In Figure 1, the value of the altinity:cloud/chi and altinity_cloud_chi tags will be the name of a ClickHouse cluster inside the altinity-maddie-saas environment.
