#Note:  This assumes that your MAAS profile is called "admin".  Adjust the variable to suit your environment
#Note: You must be logged into the MAAS cli for this command to work
#Note: Login into the MAAS CLI with "maas login <profile> <url> <apikey>"
#e.g. maas login ${MAAS_PROFILE:-admin} http://${MAAS_IP:-localhost}:5240/MAAS $(sudo maas apikey --username=${MAAS_PROFILE:-admin})

# This will backup existing custom tags into an executable script (~/maas-tags-backup.sh) which
# can then be used to recreate the tags in case of a re-install or to copy them to another
# MAAS region
