Templates

Templates are used to automate the creation and deployment of guest VMs in Parallels RAS. A template is created from an existing virtual machine running on one of the hypervisor-based or cloud-based hosts supported by Parallels RAS. Once a template is ready, it can be used to create guest VM clones that will inherit all of the properties of the template. The resulting guest VMs can then be used to host published resources.
