Description

Description If you look at the function reference for salt.cloud.clouds.opennebula at the Create function it suggests syntax of:

salt-cloud -p my-opennebula-profile vm_name memory=16384 cpu=2.5 vcpu=16

This appears to be incorrect, if you were to run such syntax you would end up creating 4 virtual machines called:

  1. vm_name
  2. memory=16384
  3. cpu=2.5
  4. vcpu=16

inside of OpenNebula, not a single VM with 16GB memory, 2.5 physical CPU cores and 16 virtual ones as you might expect.

Suggested Fix Remove this syntax from the documentation.

Research direction
The issue identifies incorrect CLI syntax in the OpenNebula function reference documentation. The fix involves removing the erroneous example from the Salt documentation. The relevant file is likely `salt/cloud/clouds/opennebula.rst` or a similar file in the `doc/` directory. No linked pull request or assignee exists, so this is available for a first time contributor. The specific location is the 'create' function section of the OpenNebula cloud module.
