Correct I don't see catalog support for container providers, provisioning OpenShift Templates is a simple operation.

Yeah certainly you can do anything you want if you create your own automate workflow with ansible scripts to do the work.

:+1: as long as we drop all of the `supports_feature?` methods (which I never liked anyway) this looks great

Sort of, VMware doesn't have a "description" exactly. They have a Notes field which the backend API calls "summary.config.annotations" [[ref]](https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/b50dcbbf-051d-4204-a3e7-e1b618c1e384/538cf2ec-b34f-4bae-a332-3820ef9e7773/vim.vm.ConfigSpec.html#annotation). We parse this and store it in the `vm.hardware.annotation` column....

Yeah agreed, unless we have some requirement that `Vm#description` can't have newlines I don't see why we wouldn't just use notes as the vm description

`t.text "description", comment: "A description of the VM that is typically set by the provider, but may also be edited."`

This is handled by tagging the region with "capture_enabled" https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/blob/master/app/models/miq_region.rb#L268 so not as simple as just switching a default from false to true...

Yeah I'm thinking inverting it would also help reduce the number of tags on the clusters/hosts (assuming the default is capture_enabled) (NOTE this method is also involved https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/blob/master/app/models/metric/ci_mixin/targets.rb#L2-L16)
