Looking at this in more detail, that's not going to do it. If we have to
create a template and call deployVirtualMachine, that will
do--intentionally--what it was intended to do: spin up a new VM in the
hypervisor and allocate a chunk of disk out of primary storage.
What we are looking to do,
CreateCommand in the agent code is responsible for making a template
into a new volume. With Xen and VMware, you're limited to what the
hypervisor is capable of as far as storage cloning to create a new
copy from an existing template on your primary storage. With KVM, you
can create your own
Cool, we'll take a look at CreateCommand. I like your suggestion to tweak the
execute method to accomplish this.
We are literally getting our feet wet at this point, and have some ideas that

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

Ok, thanks. So it is doable. The question now being how fast this process
will be, since the VM creation will ultimately be done on the hypervisor.
What is the API that I could use to create a VM from a template? I am looking
at the 4.1 REST API and there is nothing for creating under the

Nope! That's the one I was looking for. Too close to destroyVirtualMachine…
didn't even see it ;-)
Thanks again.
