Tag Groups (former Virtual Tags)
Unify inconsistent cloud tags into meaningful, reusable groupings
Overview
In modern cloud environments, inconsistent tagging is a common challenge. Different teams, tools, or automation scripts may use variations of tag keys and values — making it hard to filter, group, or report consistently across your cloud assets.
To solve this, Umbrella introduces Tag Groups: a powerful feature that lets you define and standardize tag value groups across multiple tag keys and variations.

What Are Tag Groups?
Tag Groups allow you to:
- Map multiple tag values (from different keys or spelling variations) into a single standardized label.
- Use these unified groups across filters, dashboards, reports, savings plans, budgeting, and recommendations.
- Cleanly represent inconsistent or messy tag data — without changing the source tags on the cloud provider.
🔧 Use Case Example
Let’s say your teams have the following inconsistent environment tags across AWS, GCP and Azure:
Key | Value |
---|---|
Environment | Prod |
env | production |
Deployment | Prodyuction (typo) |
With Tag Groups, you can create a group called:
- Group Name: Production
- Group Values: Prod, production, Prodyuction
Now, whenever you use the Tag Group: Production in filters or reporting, all resources matching any of these values will be included, regardless of how they were originally tagged.
How to Create a Tag Group
- Navigate to Cost Allocation → Tag Groups
- Click “Create Tag Group”
- Provide:
- Group Name (e.g., Production)
- Add the tag values that should be mapped to this group
(e.g., prod, production, Prodyuction) - Click Save
You can now use this Tag Group in:
- Cost & Usage
- Assets
- Business Mapping
- Budget
