Creating a template can take several minutes, depending on the size of your cloud server and the amount of data on it.

LayerPanel’s VM Import feature allows you to import virtual machine (VM) images from your own virtualization environment for installing new cloud servers in the future.

Our Templates currently support VMDK, RAW, VDI, VHDX and QCOW2 formats.
