Managing Server Templates

Cisco IAC provides the following types of server templates that users can choose when they order servers.



Virtual machine (VM) template





vApp template



UCS service profile template

All three types of server templates are discovered and registered using the CloudSync Infrastructure Discovery portal. 
After registering, the template is then uniformly available to all users. 

Registering a Virtual Machine Template

The Cloud Provider Technical Administrator (CPTA) can register an existing VM template in the cloud system for users
