Using tags to group similar machines

Landscape uses the notion of “Tags” to group machines that perform similar functions and use all the same packages. A “Tag” is a simple word like 'web server' that enables you to apply package updates to all the systems that have that tag. And any machine can have multiple “Tags” giving you the flexibility to configure machines for multiple functions. This screencast introduces you to “Tags” and shows you how to use them.
