Description

Example: find all UUID for all VM with a name like Marvel-* and pipe that output to the power on sample... modify the power on sample to optionally read the input and power on all those VM. Do the same with the delete VM sample... and so on.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing samples (power on vm, delete vm) to understand VM identifier handling. Write a script that accepts VM name pattern, finds matching VMs, and outputs UUIDs. Modify power on and delete samples to optionally read UUIDs from input.
