So now I'm getting this:
Template validation failed. Errors are shown below.
Errors validating build 'vsphere-iso'. 6 errors occurred:
* unknown configuration key: "keep_registered"
* unknown configuration key: "remote_datastore"
* unknown configuration key: "remote_host"
* unknown configuration key: "remote_password"
* unknown configuration key: "remote_type"
* unknown configuration key: "remote_username"
I made the following changes:
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "vsphere-iso",
"remote_type": "esx5",
"remote_host": "{{user `esxi_host`}}",
"remote_datastore": "{{user `esxi_datastore`}}",

"remote_password": "{{user `esxi_password`}}",

"host": "10.150.1.35",
"vm_name": "centos7base",

"disk_size": "60GB",
"iso": "/vmfs/volumes/datastore02/ISO/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810.iso",

}
