Activate hardware profiles for a VM template

When you edit a VM template, you can recommend some hardware profiles for users when they create VMs from this template. You can also restrict users to the recommended hardware profiles.

By default, users can access all hardware profiles that are active in the infrastructure (see Create a hardware profile) and allowed for their enterprise (see Allow a tenant to use hardware profiles).
To activate a set of selected hardware profiles for a VM template:

1. Go to Apps library → Public/Private → select region or datacenter → Templates
2. Edit a template
3. Go to Recommended
4. Select the hardware profiles to recommend for this template. When the user creates a VM, the platform will display (Recommended) beside them. For shared templates, remember that the administrator must allow the user's tenant to access the hardware profiles. See Allow a tenant to use hardware profiles.
5. To activate and display the recommended hardware profiles only, select the Enable only recommended HPs option
