Vantage Launches Nested Virtual Tags

Vantage has introduced Nested Virtual Tags, a new feature allowing customers to incorporate existing Virtual Tags into the creation of new ones, thereby enabling the establishment of hierarchies or nested structures for Virtual Tags. This enhancement allows users to leverage previously defined business logic without duplicating filtering logic, facilitating the alignment of cloud provider data with internal taxonomies for more efficient grouping and querying. The Nested Virtual Tags can be utilized for filtering, grouping, and cost allocation models within the Vantage console, and are available at no additional cost to all Vantage users, specifically those with the "Owner" role. While there are some limitations, such as the inability to reference cost allocation-based Virtual Tags or create cyclical references, the feature supports up to 49 nested layers and is accessible via the VirtualTagConfig API endpoint for further integration.
