# metalcloud-cli vm-pool

Manage virtual machine pools and their resources

## Synopsis

Manage virtual machine pools including VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, and other hypervisor environments.

VM pools provide centralized management of virtualization infrastructure, allowing you to:
- Create and configure connections to hypervisor management systems
- Monitor VM and cluster host resources
- Manage credentials and certificates for secure access
- Control maintenance and experimental modes

Available commands support full lifecycle management from initial configuration
to ongoing monitoring and resource inspection.
