Hello friends@vmware I need to use the rest API to set metadata but it always failed with 400. Can someone please take a look ? I used base64 to encode the metadata. Based on the documentation (https://developer.vmware.com/apis/vsphere-automation/latest/vcenter/api/vcenter/vm/vm/guest/customization/put/ ), below is a good payload: { "spec": { "configuration_spec": { "cloud_config": { "cloudinit": { "metadata": "aW5zdGFuY2UtaWQ6IGJpZy1pcC1uZXh0CmxvY2FsLWhvc3RuYW1lOiBiaWctaXAtbmV4dApkc21vZGU6IGxvY2FsCm5ldHdvcms6CiAgdmVyc2lvbjogMgogIGV0aGVybmV0czoKICAjIG9wYXF1ZSBJRCBmb3IgcGh5c2ljYWwgaW50ZXJmYWNlcywgb25seSByZWZlcnJlZCB0byBieSBvdGhlciBzdGFuemFzCiAgICBlbnMxNjA6CiAgICAgIGFkZHJlc3NlczoKICAgICAgICAtIDEwLjE0Ni4xNjguMS8yNAogICAgICBnYXRld2F5NDogMTAuMS4xLjEKICAgICAgbmFtZXNlcnZlcnM6CiAgICAgICAgYWRkcmVzc2VzOiBbMTAuMS4xLjFd" }, "type": "CLOUDINIT" } }, "global_DNS_settings": {}, "interfaces": [ { "adapter": { "ipv4": { "type": "STATIC" } } } ] } } However, when I use curl to send the request, it failed.
