vSphere VLAN input in Cloud Blueprint

[gbouziden]

I'm trying to get an input option for vlanID to get configured but this results in a new folder being created with the default vlan for the project being created. I have added multiple Networks to the Network Profile for this project, but it still is just selecting the default one:

This works to when I add tags to the network and vlan, but it is still creating a new folder in vSphere instead of using the existing one. If comment out the network stuff, the vm will get created in the correct folder.

I believe I figured it out by adding an additional constraint tag associated with the project in the resources. In order for this to work however, every vlan has to have the project tag and a tag for the name. So in the Network Profiles, "name-VLAN2" needs to have the tags "name-VLAN2" and "Tenant:nameInfra." Is this the correct way to do this or is there an easier method?

resources:
  Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1:
    type: Cloud.vSphere.Machine
    properties:
      image: '${input.Image}'
      flavor: '${input.VM_Size}'
      name: '${input.Name}'
      networks:
        - network: '${resource.Cloud_vSphere_Network_1.id}'
      customizationSpec: '${input.CustomizationSpec}'
      folderName: '${input.folderName}'
      vlanID: '${input.network}'
  Cloud_vSphere_Network_1:
    type: Cloud.vSphere.Network
    properties:
      networkType: existing
      constraints:
        - tag: '${input.network}'
        - tag: 'Tenant:nameInfra'
