reboot

The cldkctl vm reboot command restarts a virtual machine (VM) by specifying its name. This command performs a graceful reboot, shutting down and restarting the VM while preserving its current configuration and resources. Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions and that the VM is currently in a Running state before performing this operation. If the VM is not running, the command will fail with an error message indicating that the VM cannot be rebooted.
