Compute Commands

The following is a list of compute service related commands:

vapp      Operations with vApps
vm        Operations with VMs

Operating with vApps

A vApp can be created by specifying an existing template. Here is an example:

vca vapp create --vapp myvapp --vm myvm \
    --catalog 'Public Catalog' --template 'Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS (amd64 20150127)' \
    --network default-routed-network --mode POOL

It is possible to create more than one instances from a template by using the count parameter. The following example creates 10 virtual machines from a template:

vca vapp create --vapp myvapp --vm myvm \
    --catalog 'Public Catalog' --template 'Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS (amd64 20150127)' \
    --network default-routed-network --mode POOL \
    --count 10
