No, cloudmonkey is the CLI of CloudStack. You can automate jobs that CloudStack should do with it. For example you should find a way that take an image of your current VMs and put it in a place then CloudMonkey will get those images, register them as a template and create VMs from them. You can do CloudMonkey side jobs with a simple scripting but taking image from VMs depends on your type of hypervisor

If I need to register like 500 templates and then create VM from then it may take a lot of time.
