Tag-based asset protection for production environments
CloudPoint introduces an enhanced version of the Tag-based asset protection feature that allows you to automate the entire process of data protection using CloudPoint protection policies. You can assign descriptive text labels, known as tags, to the assets and configure this feature to have CloudPoint automatically protect those assets using matching protection policies.
This feature was introduced in CloudPoint 2.2 release earlier. The following changes have been made to the feature in this release:
CloudPoint no longer statically associates policies with assets, post discovery. Instead, CloudPoint dynamically determines whether or not to protect an asset based on tags, during every policy run.
In 2.2 release, this feature was offered as a technical preview. With the enhancements in this release, this feature can now be used in production environments.
Refer to the chapter on Tag-based asset protection in the CloudPoint Administrator's Guide for more information.
