Excerpt

You can set guest variables to pass user data to your VMs before deployment. This functionality uses cloud-init and requires appropriate templates. In private cloud, the VM templates must have the guest setup flag set to cloud init.

Tip

This functionality is available through the API. The platform stores variables in the VirtualMachine "variables" attribute, which is a dictionary of keys and values. See Update a virtual machine in VirtualMachinesResource

You can add, modify or delete guest variables, BEFORE you deploy the VM.
