Create new computing instances
createObjects() enables the creation of multiple computing instances on an account in a single call. This method is a simplified alternative to interacting with the ordering system directly.
In order to create a computing instance a set of template objects must be sent in with a few required values.
Warning: Computing instances created via this method will incur charges on your account.
See SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest::createObject for specifics on the requirements of each template object.
