Promote an instance to master template

Promote an instance to master template

When you promote an instance, Abiquo first makes a copy of the instance and then promotes it to create a new master template. This is useful when you want to delete a master template but keep its instance template(s). 

To promote an instance:

  1. Select the original master template to display its instances
  2. Select the instance, and from its options menu, select Promote to master
  3. Enter a Name for the new master template. Select the disks to promote 
    • Remember that there must always be at least one disk and that the disk at position 0 must be a boot disk. 
    • The name should help users to identify this template among the other templates 

The platform will display the completed template in the Apps library view and you can edit it as required

Enter a Name to identify the template

The platform displays the promoted instance in the main section of the Apps library
