**To opt out of usage tracking**

If you choose, you can opt out of usage tracking for a new DLAMI instance. To opt out, you must add a tag to your Amazon EC2 instance during launch. The tag should use the key `OPT_OUT_TRACKING` with the associated value set to `true`. For more information, see [Tag your Amazon EC2 resources](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/Using_Tags.html) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*.
