User can use this cloud template to create any appliance on demand. The cloud template has two inputs: 1) imageRef – an online ova file reference 2) ovfProperties – a list of ovf properties that the user wants update. An ABX action retrieves ovf properties in image via a private API call and add them as vm custom properties. Ovf property keys are renamed to ovf.prop: + key. vCenter applies these properties to appliance during cloning. Sample ovf properties: ovf.prop:va-ssh-enabled true ovf.prop:varoot-password [{"key":"varoot-password","value":"123abc"}] #OVF#abx#ova#Python#vRA#VMProvisioning#blueprint#Apache2.0#CompositeBlueprint#VMwareAriaAutomation#cloudtemplate#CloudAssembly
