If I understood correctly, (account, domainId) passed into deployVMCmd is used for impersonation-like behavior, that is, caller is deploying a VM on behalf of an account. Personally I don't like this kind of putting so many parameters in one API to perform several different functionalities, impersonation should be done through IAM separately. Too many parameters will just make our API semantics very hard to understand and maintain. Along this line, I will not like to see this user_id added here.
