Create a template to create a master image of a virtual machine from which you can deploy many virtual machines.
You can create a template by converting a virtual machine to a template, cloning a virtual machine to a template, or cloning another template.

| You can convert a virtual machine directly to a template instead of making a copy by cloning. |
■
| Cloning a virtual machine to a template creates a template copy of the virtual machine while leaving the original virtual machine in place. |
