Mapping computer resources to consumers in a computer system is described. In an example, a method of mapping computer resources to consumers in a computer system includes: receiving tags assigned to the computer resources at a resource manager executing in the computer system, where the resource manager: identifies a first tag assigned to a first computer resource; determines whether a first consumer is associated with the first tag; enables the first consumer to access the first computer resource if the first consumer is associated with the first tag; and prevents the first consumer from accessing the first computer resource if the first consumer is not associated with the first tag.
