This module can be used to collect information about VMware tags.
Tag feature is introduced in vSphere 6 version, so this module is not supported in the earlier versions of vSphere.
All variables and VMware object names are case sensitive.
This module was called C(vmware_tag_facts) before Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change.
