    Query resources in the consoles of Alibaba Cloud services

    For an Alibaba Cloud service that supports tags, you can query resources by tag in the console of the service. In this example, the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) console is used to query resources.

    For an Alibaba Cloud service that supports tags, you can use a Tag API operation or a tag-related API operation provided by the service to query resources. The following descriptions provide details:
