This document will focus on the use of virtual machine templates in VMware Infrastructure 3. Virtual machine template functionality was redesigned in VMware Infrastructure 3 which includes VirtualCenter 2. In this context, a virtual machine template (usually referred to as simply a template) is a reusable image created from a virtual machine. The template, as a derivative of the source virtual machine,typically includes virtual hardware components, an installed guest operating system (with any applicable patches) and software application(s).
