A template is a reusable configuration for virtual machines. When users launch VMs, they can choose from a list of templates in CloudStack.
</div><div class="para">
Specifically, a template is a virtual disk image that includes one of a variety of operating systems, optional additional software such as office applications, and settings such as access control to determine who can use the template. Each template is associated with a particular type of hypervisor, which is specified when the template is added to CloudStack.
