Virtual machine management: SSH

Remote machines can be managed with SSH. This method needs the two corresponding configuration values you can find in the [Virtual Machine Remote Management] section of the configuration (See Example 1).

You can use the use_sudo and quiet modes, as per the example.

>>> from vcdriver.vm import VirtualMachine
>>> from vcdriver.config import load
>>> load('path/to/vcdriver.ini')
>>> vm = VirtualMachine(name='vm_name', template='vm_template')
>>> vm.create()
