string
template
Required

Identifier of the namespace template. This has DNS_LABEL restrictions as specified in . This name is unique across all namespaces templates in this vCenter server.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

When clients pass a value of this schema as a parameter, the property must be an identifier for the resource type: ClusterComputeResource. When operations return a value of this schema as a response, the property will be an identifier for the resource type: ClusterComputeResource.

object
resource_spec
Required

Resource quotas that this template defines. Resource quota on the namespace. Refer to Vcenter NamespaceManagement NamespaceResourceOptions Info.create_resource_quota_type and use GET /vcenter/namespace-management/clusters/{cluster}/workload-resource-options for retrieving the type for the value for this field. For an example of this, see Vcenter Namespaces ResourceQuotaOptionsV1.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

storage_specs
Required

Storage that this template defines and will be associated with a namespace after namespace realization. This field should not be empty and at least one policy should be supplied. The {link create} throws {term InvalidArgument} exception if this field is set empty.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

array of string
networks
Optional

vSphere Networks that this template captures and are associated with the namespace after namespace realization. vSphere Namespaces network objects to be associated with the namespace. The values of this list need to reference names of pre-existing Vcenter NamespaceManagement Networks Info schemas.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

The field must be left missing or null if the cluster hosting the namespace uses NSXT_CONTAINER_PLUGIN or NSX_VPC as the network provider, since the network(s) for this namespace will be managed by NSX Container Plugin. If field is missing or null when the cluster hosting the namespace uses VSPHERE_NETWORK as its network provider, the namespace will automatically be associated with the cluster's Supervisor Primary Workload Network. The field currently accepts at most only 1 vSphere Namespaces network object reference.

When clients pass a value of this schema as a parameter, the property must contain identifiers for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.namespace_management.Network. When operations return a value of this schema as a response, the property will contain identifiers for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.namespace_management.Network.

permissions
Optional

Permissions associated with namespace template.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

If missing or null, only users with the Administrator role can use this template; for example, this template is applied to the namespace created by self-service-users with the Administrator role.

vm_service_spec
Optional

VM Service specification to be associated with the namespace template. Namespaces created using this template will have access to the virtual machine classes and Content Libraries specified in this {CreateSpec#vmServiceSpec} by default.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.3.2.

If missing or null, the namespaces created using this template will not have access to any virtual machine classes by default, and to any Content Libraries by default unless Content Libraries are specified in the {CreateSpec#contentLibraries}.

content_libraries
Optional

Content Library specifications to be associated with the namespace template. Namespaces created using this template will have access to the Content Libraries specified in this {CreateSpec#contentLibraries} by default.

This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.2.0.

If missing or null, the namespaces created using this template will not have access to any Content Libraries by default unless Content Libraries are specified in the {CreateSpec#vmServiceSpec}.
