## Tag workloads correctly
38+
39+
It is recommended to correctly tag all the servers and workloads for appropriate target recommendations. Assessment uses special tags for identifying the machines and workloads operating in the Dev/Test environment and to mark the workloads and servers for retention or retirement.
40+
41+
In case the workloads and servers are operating in the Dev/Test environment they should be tagged with the tag **AzM.Environment: Dev**. In case this tag is absent on the servers or workloads, they are considered as production workloads by default.
42+
43+
In case the workloads and servers are to be retained or retired they should be tagged with the tag **AzM.MigrationIntent: Retain** or **AzM.MigrationIntent:Retire** respectively. In case these tags are absent on these servers or workloads, they are considered for migration or modernization.
44+
It is recommended that the servers and all the associated workloads are tagged consistently for appropriate and consistent recommendations. For eg. In case *Server 1* hosts *Database 1* and *Database 2* and the server has to be retained, it is expected that the tag exists on server as well as the databases for appropriate recommendation.
