Is there a way to attach and remove a CD ISO in vCAC 6.0

We require the ability to attach a CD (mount an ISO) to a VM created in vCAC. What we are having to do at the moment is connect them with the use of vCenter, however this takes up time from our infrastructure team and isn't self service.

Is there a way to eaisly attach (and detatch) an ISO to a VM that has been deployed and managed by vCAC?

We are running vCAC 6.0 and vSphere 5.5 Update 1

One way to do this is with vCO and publishing this as a XaaS as a catalog item for a end user to be able to do.  Or here is a sample of how you can do this as a action on a VM.

I see, so there isn't a simple built in way to attach an ISO to a VM, you have to build a custom resource action with vCO.

If there is a VMware employee who reads this. I'd like this to be a feature request for a future edition. Have mounting ISO's to a vCAC VM as a standard option.

Thank you for your help
