* **iso_path**: Full path to the ISO in Proxmox (if `template_type` is `iso`)

Note: Templates and ISOs should be stored on shared storage when using multiple Proxmox nodes. Or copy the template/iso to each host's local storage at the same location.

#. **Deploy Instance**

Deploy an Instance using the Template created above. Optionally, provide the detail `vm_name` to specify the name of the VM in Proxmox.
Otherwise, the CloudStack Instance's internal name is used. The VM Id in Proxmox is mapped to the CloudStack Instance and stored as a detail in CloudStack DB.
The Instance will be provisioned on a randomly selected Proxmox host. The VM will be configured with the MAC address and VLAN ID as defined in CloudStack.

The VM Id in Proxmox is mapped to the CloudStack Instance and stored as a detail in CloudStack DB.
The Instance is provisioned on a randomly selected Proxmox host. The VM is configured with the MAC address and VLAN ID as defined in CloudStack.

The following external details can be provided optionally, while deploying the Instance:

* **vm_name**: Name of the VM in Proxmox. Default: *CloudStack Instance's internal name*.
* **storage**: Name of the storage in Proxmox to use for the VM's disk. Default: *local-lvm*.
* **is_full_clone**: Whether to create a full clone of the template (true) or a linked clone (false). Default: *false*.
* **iso_os_type**: Specify guest operating system if deploying from ISO. This is used to enable special optimization/features for specific operating systems. Valid values are: other | wxp | w2k | w2k3 | w2k8 | wvista | win7 | win8 | win10 | win11 | l24 | l26 | solarisOS. Default: *l26*
* **disk_size_gb**: Size of the disk in GB if deploying from ISO. Default: *64*.

**Note**: Make sure that **is_full_clone** is set to **true** if the **storage** specified is different from the template's storage when deploying from template.

#. **Lifecycle Operations**

Operations **Start**, **Stop**, **Reboot**, and **Delete** can be performed on the Instance from CloudStack.
