@naveenrajm7 after this is merged, could you add an AppleScript example here that creates a MacOS VM? This is a very useful addition to allow full automation of creating a test VM. It might be worth adding to documentation too. |

I think you should change the type of this to an enumeration (macOS/Linux) instead of a free text string.

@wjk @naveenrajm7 Is this the only thing holding us off? Would love to get automate macOS guest creation.
(great work with Vagrant and Packer, @naveenrajm7 🙏🏻)
