start

The cldkctl vm start command powers on a virtual machine (VM) by specifying its name. This command initializes the VM, allocates required resources such as CPU, memory, and network, and sets the VM to a running state. It is used to start a VM that is currently in a Stopped state. Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to perform this action, and that the VM is in a stopped condition before attempting to start it.
