Add an Existing Security Tag Component

settings for use with vSphere machine components and Software components that pertain to vSphere.
By default, security tags that are applicable to the current tenant are exposed when authoring a blueprint.
Specifically, security tags are made available if the associated endpoint has a reservation in the current
tenant. For additional information about controlling tenancy access, see Controlling Tenant Access for
