Add ability to include tags to the provisioned resources

Due to a database issue in our Customer Enhancement Request system, it was necessary to modify the Idea Reference field for ideas opened against the IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center. This will only impact ideas whose URLs have been bookmarked by a user within a browser; the creators of the ideas will still be able to find those they opened in the My Ideas section of the portals, the ideas will continue to be associated with any IBM Unified Portal shared group, and all users can continue to find ideas via searching on title and description contents in the portal search bars.

This change has already been made; users who have bookmarked this idea will find their current bookmark will no longer work and that they need to change the Idea Reference in the URL from CIC-I-nn to ICIC-I-nn.

Hi Bill

Thanks for the confirmation, I will talk to our OM team to see how this can be addressed soon, will keep you updated ~

Hi Chen,

thank you for the reply. That's the mechanism I was looking for. Are there plans to make this available in the ICIC GUI as well?

@Bill

Sorry for late reply due to no mail subscription on the topic and found it just now

Actually we talked about 2 things in the requirement

one is project based resource couning, e.g, we have different team, such as test,dev,prod etc, they have their resource view, this has been covered in CIC concept projects, you can refer to https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cic/1.1.5?topic=management-managing-projects for further info and CIC current support multiple projects and different roles to operate

The other is tag mechanism, which is you can add tag to a VM/volume or other resources so you can group and search for them,it is already provided by CIC through it's openstack API (not at UI yet) , for example,

I can tag a VM then search the tag like below

# nova server-tag-set d0a9b86a-e237-42e1-8c17-d307b9e7beec tag1
# nova show d0a9b86a-e237-42e1-8c17-d307b9e7beec | grep tag
| tags                                 | ["tag1"]     

e.g after I tag the VM d09ab86a-xxx ,I can search for it like

[root@m5404019 ~]# nova list

+--------------------------------------+------------+--------+------------+-------------+-----------------------------+

so the question we are having is whether the above mechanism is what you are looking for ? API / CLI /UI as well? Thanks
