When using NSX a quite common task is applying tags to VMs. This can be done in several ways, in this post I´m showing how to accomplish that task via the RESTapi of NSX 4.1.2
The API calls and all other scripts in this post were run with these versions:
– VMware NSX Version 4.1.2.1.0.22667789
The automatic and unattended installation of virtual machines can be achieved with several techniques. In this series, I´ll show the approach of using CloudInit together with VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator. This will be realized by the use of Guest OS Customization of the specific VM.
In Part 3 we´ll be finally deploying some VMs with a new designed workflow.

In Part 2 we will focus on creating the necessary Guest OS Customization data.
To use these Customizations we have to set Advanced Configuration parameters to each VM that should be deployed from your templates.

First, we need to prepare a VM which will be used as a template later.
To do so perform a basic installation of the OS and apply the changes for the specific OS and version.
In this post the following linux distributions are covered.
