Next we can determine which templates are available to deploy in our virtual datacenter.
...
Get all the templates from the repository that are compatible with your virtual datacenter. In this example we only show one virtual machine template.

API Documentation For the Abiquo API documentation of this feature, see Abiquo API Resources and the page for this resource VirtualMachineTemplateResource. |
...
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.

...
Then we can either deploy the virtual machine VM or the virtual appliance using the links in the corresponding entity. For example, in from the virtual machine above VM, the deploy link is:
