title	GET all of the Virtual Machine Templates that are compatible with KVM

* This action requires the privilege VDC_ENUMERATE,VDC_MANAGE,VDC_MANAGE_VAP

...

So we will send a POST request with the VM object to the virtual machines link of the virtual appliance. Remember that until we deploy, the VM only exists in Abiquo – we haven't launched the VM in AWS yet.
