      This module can be used to obtain image ID of an OS image in DECORT cloud to use with subsequent calls to
      decort_vm module for batch VM provisioning. It will speed up VM creation and save a bunch of extra calls to
      DECORT cloud controller on each VM creation act.
-     Note that this module is effectively an information provisioner. It is not designed to and does not manage 
-     nor change state of OS image (or any other) objects in DECORT cloud.
