Tags Categorize logical templates based on the functions that they provide. Application

deployment blueprint for an application.

To use a tag that is not in the list, click Cancel, and select Library > Tags to
create a tag.
Supported OS Specifies the operating system installed in the logical template. This OS
information is used in the application blueprint to limit which services you can add
to this template. Not all services run on all operating systems. For example, if you
specify an Ubuntu operating system, when you use this template in a blueprint
and try to add a service that is not compatible with Ubuntu, Application Services
prevents you from adding that service.
To use an operating system name that is not in the list, click Cancel, and select
Library > Operating Systems to create an operating system name.
