Hi Carlos, You can use cloudmonkey to script the creation of a new Zone, we actually use cloudmonkey to complete all of the CloudStack configuration, not just zones.
If you do create a new zone, you have to clear down secondary storage and re-seed the system VM template as I believe there are ssh keys (or some other security features) that are randomly generated when you use the API generate the template.

Should I be doing something else? I am assuming it is ok to leave the templates in the secondary storage as is. Also is there a means to script the adding of a zone? thanks Carlos This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
