Is it possible to store name value pairs on Azure virtual machines? In Amazon EC2 I can use the tags to organize VM's.
I found this article about tags : http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/azure-preview-portal-using-tags/ but these seem to be on Resources, not VMs.
What I need is :
VM1
tag1: xx
tag2: yy
VM2
tag1: xx
tag2: y2
Then search the vms having tag1 equals xx, then do some jobs on found list. And, these tags could be changed easily.
You are right. currently Azure does not support tag grouping on VM.
The only way is to make a resource group, not so flexible, but currently they (azure dev team) are actively working on it to move whatever resources across resource groups.
