What is a VMware Template? VMware Templates are master copies of virtual machines. In this VMware tutorial, we break down how to clone a VM and how to convert VM templates.
1. Clone to Template Method: Make an exact copy of the virtual machine, creating a fully functional virtual machine instance. To do this, log into your vSphere account and clone the VM. Input your preferred settings to finish your template.
2. Convert to Template Method: Convert an existing virtual machine into a template. The virtual machine is replaced by the template and is no longer functional. To do this, log into your vSphere account and convert your VM into a template. Your existing settings will be incorporated.
