BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• builder/vsphere-iso: The deprecated fields network, network_card, disk_size, disk_thin_provisioned, and disk_eagerly_scrub have been removed. Run packer fix template.json to migrate an existing template [GH-9149]

• For all iso-based builders, the iso_checksum_type and iso_checksum_url fields have been removed in favor of simply setting the iso_checksum field. Use the packer fix command to update a config file. See the iso_checksum field docs to read more about this. [GH-8437]
