/**
 * The `vsphere.TagCategory` resource can be used to create and manage tag
 * categories, which determine how tags are grouped together and applied to
 * specific objects.
 *
 * For more information about tags, click [here][ext-tags-general].
 *
 * [ext-tags-general]: https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vsphere/vsphere/8-0/vsphere-tags-and-attributes.html
 *
 * ## Example Usage
 *
 * This example creates a tag category named `test-category`, with
 * single cardinality (meaning that only one tag in this category can be assigned
 * to an object at any given time). Tags in this category can only be assigned to
 * VMs and datastores.
 *
 * ```typescript
 * import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
 * import * as vsphere from "@pulumi/vsphere";
 *
 * const category = new vsphere.TagCategory("category", {
 *     name: "test-category",
 *     description: "Managed by Pulumi",
 *     cardinality: "SINGLE",
 *     associableTypes: [
 *         "VirtualMachine",
 *         "Datastore",
 *     ],
 * });
 * ```
 *
 * ## Import
 *
 * An existing tag category can be imported into this resource via
 *
 * its name, using the following command:
 *
 * [docs-import]: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/import
 *
 * ```sh
 * $ pulumi import vsphere:index/tagCategory:TagCategory category terraform-test-category
 * ```
