Feature Request: Display tags and tag filter in the Virtual Machines view of the adminui

[benjamin-bergia]

We have been running our private cloud on SDC7 for the past few months now and we migrated our production on it recently. Even if the "major" operations are done through the CloudAPI most of our daily tasks like VM re-sizing etc use the AdminUI. We do not give custom aliases to our VMs and mostly go with Tags (which match our way to work with our CMS).

It would greatly improve the usability of the AdminUI if we could:

1. Filter VMs by Tags/List of Tags
2. Display the Tags under the VMs name in the same way that it is currently done for thesmartdc_type Tag.

I agree that getting the Tag filter right might require some work and a lot of thoughts but it would definitely be a great improvement. From the SDC-*API documentation, we can see that SDC is filled with very powerful features, like Tags, but unfortunately most of them are not available to the end users who, in most cases, use the AdminUI.

@benjamin-bergia unrelated to this feature request, I'd love to learn more about how you're using SDC/Triton. Would you mind emailing me? I'm casey.bisson at joyent.
