Modify the YAML Code to look like this. We are adding the three last lines of code.

formatVersion: 1
resources:
  Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1:
    type: Cloud.vSphere.Machine
    properties:
      image: windows2019
      flavor: small
      tags: 
        - key: os
          value: windows

Hit DEPLOY. Give your Deployment a name and deploy your template. Notice your new VM will show your tag in vCenter Server.
