titleClick here to show/hide the task: Download sample templates

Abiquo supplies sample templates in a Remote Repository hosted on Amazon S3. Download some of these templates for testing.

  1. On the Apps Library Tab select the data center.
  2. Click the + Add button on the right hand side and select Create from remote repository


    The Abiquo Official Repository should have been added as default (http://abiquo-repository.abiquo.com/ovfindex.xml).
  3. Select the templates and click Download to save them to the local datacenter Apps library

Note that by default the cloud administrator Cloud Admin has the privilege to Manage repository (to add and delete remote repositories) and administrators have access to the Apps library and the privilege to Download VM templates from remote repository.

The Cloud Administrator Admin can upload VM templates from the local filesystem and may also allow Enterprise Administrators Admins to upload their own templates to the Apps Library for their users. If the enterprise is a reseller, the Cloud Administrator Admin can allow them to share templates with their tenants. 

...

Users can create clones of their VM disks as instance templates. In private cloud, instances are stored with the master templates in the Apps library.

In private cloud datacenters, cloud administrators Cloud Admins can set allocation limits to ensure that no single enterprise uses all the repository space. The platform meters Repository usage and you can bill each tenant for it.

...

Screenshot: In public cloud the Apps library imports the details of templates from the provider and links to the provider's disk files.
