The name to be assigned to the virtual machine. If this parameter is not set, the displayName configuration parameter of the virtual machine is used. An entity name must be a non-empty string of less than 80 characters. The slash (/), backslash (\) and percent (%) will be escaped using the URL syntax. For example, %2F.
