            of ResourceExtensionReference.
        provision_guest_agent:
            Optional. Indicates whether the VM Agent is installed on the
            Virtual Machine. To run a resource extension in a Virtual Machine,
            this service must be installed.
        vm_image_name:
            Optional. Specifies the name of the VM Image that is to be used to
            create the Virtual Machine. If this is specified, the
            system_config and network_config parameters are not used.
        media_location:
            Optional. Required if the Virtual Machine is being created from a
            published VM Image. Specifies the location of the VHD file that is
            created when VMImageName specifies a published VM Image.
        dns_servers:
            Optional. List of DNS servers (use DnsServer class) to associate
            with the Virtual Machine.
