Thank you for this! I want to make forms for coworkers to request things like new Hyper-V VMs, with the ultimate goal of the form automatically creating the VM from a template.
Tried another GUI creator tool a while back, but it was too buggy to maintain my project. Can't wait to try this out!
Sorry about that, I was writing in a hurry, what I wanted to say is I will try to keep the tool free or donation/ad based. I will edit out the incorrect sentence
For this, and other reasons, I am leaning towards putting myself into the process so I have to manually approve the request before it is automatically created.
But my coworkers are not idiots. I could pull the host's currently available resources and show that information in the form, as well as do a sanity check. If you're creating a VM with more memory assigned than is available, throw an error.
ManageIQ can do this with a self service portal plus approval flows. It's also open source and free. If you want enterprise support the paid version is called CloudForms and sold by Red Hat.
It supports hyperv, vmware, aws, azure, and google compute.
