Creating an EZ Template

Virtuozzo is shipped with a certain number of OS (e.g., centos-6-x86_64) and application (e.g., mysql-centos-6-x86_64) EZ templates. This is usually sufficient to deploy the main Linux distributions and their applications in Containers. You can, however, create your own OS and application EZ templates and use them to base Containers on or run different applications in Containers.

You can use one of the following ways to create EZ templates:

• Make a template on the basis of an existing template. In this case, you configure the parameters of one of the templates installed on your server to meet your needs.
• Make a template from scratch. In this case, you first create a new template configuration and then create the template on its basis.

The following subsections describe both ways of creating templates in detail.
