Usually we set the required = true for each parameter.

"sockets": {
     "type": "number",
     "required": true
},

We should always return the same data set while accessing a template
That way "cpu_info" must always have a value.

Why are you using a different structure here?
I'd expect to have
{..., 'cpu_info': {cores: .., threads:..., sockets:...}}

And even with this cpu info (with cores, threads, sockets) we will 
continue to have the "cpus" data?

We are in a movement to use "lxml.builder.E" to build the xml instead of 
string.
Could you do it in that way too?

As this "cpu_info" is set in the "common_spec" for any ISO file, this 
information will always exist. Otherwise we have a bug
So you can assume that info will be there for use.
