In order to deploy a new virtual machine, we need at least 5 parameters, however, in case of deploying a vm from image, there's a 6th parameter:
- bill_dept client = DepartmentName
- built_from = Image
- description = Testing image deployment
- folder
- os
- source_image
...
So far, we've got the following parameters ready to deploy a new vm:
- bill_dept client = DepartmentName
- built_from = Image
- description = Testing image deployment
- folder = group-6666
- os = ubuntu64Guest
- source_image = Ubuntu_64-bit-vmx10.ova
- networks = dvportgroup-92
However, according to the API documentation, the payload sent via a POST request to the /v2/vm endpoint needs to be sent in JSON format.
