High Level API

vSphere could really use a high level API. Something like OpenStack has:

# start VM:

nova boot --image "my-template" --flavor "small" --nic net-id=59c56a41-2f71 "my-new-VM"

 

# create a virtual subnet

neutron subnet-create "my-net" --name "my-subnet" --gateway 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.0/24

Why do I need 150 lines of code just to create a VM?
