overridden compute offerings in deployVirtualMachine

[Marcus <sh...@gmail.com>]

I came across this code in 4.4 recently:

commit e5cfe948186b825d2b28c99ce2915a5ca8498aff
Author: Bharat Kumar <bh...@citrix.com>

    CLOUDSTACK-5160 add a map to specify the custom compute parameters
in the deployvm api.

It looks like you can set certain details to override the compute
offering in deployVirtualMachine. Since these aren't specific API
parameters, however, how are the supported items documented?


-    @Parameter(name = ApiConstants.CPU_SPEED,
-               type = CommandType.INTEGER,
-               since = "4.3",
-               description = "optional field to specify the cpu speed
when using dynamic compute offering.")
-    private Integer cpuSpeed;
-
-    @Parameter(name = ApiConstants.MEMORY,
-               type = CommandType.INTEGER,
-               since = "4.3",
-               description = "optional field to specify the memory

-    private Integer memory;
-
-    @Parameter(name = ApiConstants.CPU_NUMBER,
-               type = CommandType.INTEGER,

-               description = "optional field to specify the number of

+    @Parameter(name = ApiConstants.CUSTOM_PARAMETERS,
+               type = CommandType.MAP,
+               since= "4.3",
+               description = "used to specify the custom parameters.")
+    private  Map customParameters;
