1. A method to display a status of tags applied to objects in a cloud computing environment, the method comprising: comparing, by a processor, an attribute of an object to a criterion of a tag applied to the object, wherein the criterion specifies a requirement that the object must comply with as a consequence of the tag being applied to the object, and wherein the object is part of the cloud computing environment; determining, based on the result of the comparison, that the object does not comply with the requirement; identifying a set of actions associated with the tag, wherein the set of actions, when performed, modify at least one of the object and the cloud computing environment to cause the object to comply with the requirement; initiating performance of the set of actions associated with the tag to cause the object to comply with the requirement; while the set of actions are being performed, modifying the outputted graphical representation of the tag to include a progress indicator reflecting a progress toward completion of each action of the set of actions; upon determining that performance of a first action of the set of actions failed, modifying the outputted graphical representation of the tag to indicate that the first action failed; and outputting for display an indication of an aggregated status of each object in the cloud computing environment that the tag has been applied to.
