I am building a VM, then attempting to upload that VM to vSphere and mark
it as a template.
The VM builds fine, it uploads to vSphere fine. It's just not getting
marked as a template.
I have read the section in the docs titled "Using the vSphere Template with
local builders", and I thought I had it right, but it's not working. Here's
my template, sanitized.
