Kapil, Mark, thanks for the suggestions. Sounds good, I'll look at doing
that.

A concern I have is that these resources can be reassigned (units added,
volume
assigned to different store) so those tags would then be misleading. That's
the main
reason why I avoided including information about the workload/store in the
name. I
suppose the benefit outweighs, and we could look at updating tags later on.

Cheers,
Andrew
