Modify a VM template in public cloud

Edit virtual machine template disk in public cloud

To edit VM template disk in public cloud providers:

1. The Capacity is the hard disk space to deploy this disk. Check your cloud provider's minimum capacity requirements for your operating system

   1. When you import a VM template from Azure, the Capacity will be set to 0 and this means the platform will use the default size of the template in the provider

2. To set the storage service level of the template disk, select a Datastore tier. You can modify this value in a VM before you deploy it
   

Edit VM template variables

To add variables to a VM template, enter the Key and Value, then click Add. 

To edit an existing value, click the pencil icon, enter the new Value, then click ok. To save your changes to the template, click Save.

The variables will be added automatically to new VMs. Users can edit the variables when configuring the VM.

After the VM deploys, users can then access variables in the guest.
For example, AWS stores the variables in the ~/vm-variables.rc file. Cloud-init may use variables.

Scopes tab for sharing VM templates

To share a template with the enterprises in one or more scopes, select template scopes.

To remove enterprise access to a template, remove the scope containing the enterprise. 

• You cannot remove a scope from the template if an enterprise in the scope is using the template, for example, if it has deployed VMs or instances of VMs. 

To make a template private to the owner enterprise, unselect all scopes.
