   - 'Affinity groups' is already in its own step, the sequence/step is same as old UI's wizard after compute and disk offering, we probably can move it at the end?

   ide it if not applicable and perform size related validation; hide it by default (i.e. ask user for explicit override option by providing a switch)
   
   - The following are same as in the legacy UI asked at the last step. The keyboard option is still used to set the default keymap for VMware/vnc config for VM (https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/vmware-base/src/main/java/com/cloud/hypervisor/vmware/util/VmwareHelper.java#L576) if not in CloudStack console proxy/popup. Possibly we can add a 2nd last step to say 'Advanced Configuration' for the following? However, userdata has been there for years and may not be an advanced setting? Should the advanced step be visible to normal users?
   ```
   'Boot type'
   'boot into hardware setup'
   'boot mode'
   'keyboard language' (as redundant with novnc console)
   'userdata'
   ```
   
   - For each step we probably want to add an information (a (i) icon) that shows popover help doc (like other forms) to either explain the step or a specific form-item in the step using translation keys `$tr(...`

   We'll fix this for 1.0, but given the VM deployment feature/functionality is not broken but is the steps/form items are same as old UI I've lowered severity to Major.
