    5. username and passwords of vCenter Account
    6. Absoluate folder path - e.g /DataCenter/vm/Folder/
    7. VM Power state after being deployed

    1. Set the Fedora CoreOS stream version. stable is the default
  • Configure your CoreDNS VM Settings

    1. VM and Host Name
    2. IP Addr, Gateway, Net Mask, DNS
