## Background

Currently, Deploy Instances/Virtual Machines(VMs) in Cloudstack requires to specify some offerings, template and other settings through the API (check the API here: https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.16/apis/deployVirtualMachine.html) or the 'Instance Deployment Wizard' in the UI.

## Requirement
Provision to user/operator to quick deploy an instance using a VM definition/profile. The VM definition would hold the details of the template, offerings (including any custom values - size, iops), ssh keypair, instance group, affinity group and other settings (boot type, dynamic scaling, userdata, keyboard language, etc) that are required, and the underlying definition id can be used to launch an instance. At the minimum, the definition should hold all the mandatory details for deploying an instance.

Need to add new APIs (and/or UI) support for the VM definition/profile CRUD operations, and support for definition in the deployVirtualMachine API.

## Relevant Skills
- Java, MySQL
- Vue.js (for UI)
- Some knowledge of Virtualization and CloudStack

## Difficulty
Medium

## Potential Mentors
- Suresh Kumar Anaparti
- David Jumani

## Project Scope/Duration
