Hey everybody, I've got a couple of questions on cloning VM instances in CloudStack. I haven't seen anything in the UI that would allow me to create, say, 1000 clones of a VM instance in a given cluster. Is there such functionality in CloudStack?
If there isn't, can I drop to the hypervisor and create the clones there, then register all those new VMs in CloudStack? I haven't found a command in the REST API that would allow me to register a hypervisor VM with CloudStack. Would I have to create a template from the VM in the hypervisor, upload the template to CS, then create an instance out of that template? Rinse and repeat 1000 times? I am thinking in terms of a service provider who may have the need to pump out large quantities of VMs from within CloudStack. Thoughts?
