Field
Type
Description
data [required][object]
List of tag key descriptions.
attributes [required]object
Human-readable description and metadata attached to a Cloud Cost Management tag key, optionally scoped to a single cloud provider.
cloud [required]string
Cloud provider this description applies to (for example, aws). Empty when the description is the cross-cloud default for the tag key.
created_at [required]string
Timestamp when the description was created, in RFC 3339 format.
description [required]string
The human-readable description for the tag key.
source [required]enum
