Is cloudstack.iso_id an alternative to cloudstack.template_id ?

I've used cloudstack.template_id for a while with success, however I'd like to use an ISO (a subtype of template as far as I can tell) and I'm not quite sure the proper way to do that. If I set cloudstack.template_id to a valid ISO id, I receive an error that CloudStack can't find that template. If I set cloudstack.iso_id , I receive an error that says

Unable to execute API command deployvirtualmachine due to missing parameter templateid

HI @b-long

vagrant-cloudstack does not have an iso_id parameter.
If you need to install form ISO my bets guess is that you need to create a template from that ISO, and then use the template_id

@miguelaferreira Yes, sorry about not understanding that earlier on. I was able to create a template from the ISO, and then use that template_id to provision VMs. Closing this question now that I understand the workflow.
