Convert your VCF Deployment Parameter Workbook from .xlsx to .json, transfer it to the Cloud Builder VM (in my case /tmp/vcf-5.0.0-lab.json), then run (replace admin user password with the correct one):
curl -k -u admin:'Pa$$w0Rd' -X POST https://localhost/v1/sddcs -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "@/tmp/vcf-5.0.0-lab.json"
