<title>Working with Templates</title>
<para>A template is a reusable configuration for virtual machines. When users launch VMs, they can choose from a list of templates in CloudPlatform.</para>
<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 CloudPlatform.</para>
<para>CloudPlatform ships with a default template. In order to present more choices to users, CloudPlatform administrators and users can create templates and add them to CloudPlatform.</para>
