Is it possible to manage vmware tags, either tags themselves and/or tag assignments for resources, using Ansible? It looks like the vmware\_guest module has customvalues for key value pairs, but that’s not quite the same thing as tags.

It looks like tagging may only be possible via the vSphere Automation SDK for Python not pyVmomi.
