Start VM

POST
/projects/:projectId/vms/:vmId/start

Starts (powers on) a virtual machine.

This operation is asynchronous. The commandId in the response is an internal identifier and is not queryable via any public endpoint. To observe completion, poll GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/vms/{vmId} and watch the bootStatus and operationStatus fields; a background reconciliation job refreshes VM state roughly every 10 seconds, so expect a short delay rather than immediate consistency. The request body is optional and currently unused, reserved for future parameters.
