 - `started` - (Optional) Whether to start the container (defaults to `true`).
+- `tags` - (Optional) A list of tags of the container. This is only meta information (defaults to `[]`). Note: Proxmox always sorts the container tags. If the list in template is not sorted, then Proxmox will always report a difference on the resource. You may use the `ignore_changes` lifecycle meta-argument to ignore changes to this attribute.
