VM Template

This guide explains the usage of internal VM templates and custom VM templates.

Using both internal and custom templates, users can easily create new VMs. Additionally, we provide the ability to convert existing VMs into VM templates, allowing users to manage and utilize resources more flexibly.

VM Templates
