Description

The new cloud-engine OrchestrationService :: createVirtualMachine() and createVirtualMachineFromScratch() API's take in parameters needed to allocate a VM, volume and network.

Instead it should just take care of allocating a VM. To allocate volume and network, we should have separate APIs in OrchestrationService like createVolume() - attachVolume() and createNetwork()/ allocateNic() etc.

This way we need not carry volume/network parameters inside VM object during create VM.
