Derived tag
A derived tag is a tag value calculated from facts ZopNight already knows about a resource, such as its provider, region, type, instance type or name. It stays pending until accepted, unless it already matches the tag in the cloud, and is rechecked on every refresh. Why it matters: Derived values are consistent across thousands of resources in a way hand tagging rarely is.
