Template
Features
Creating a Custom Template from LayerStack VM
Templates allow you to manually create an image of the current state of a cloud server which can later be used to create new cloud servers with the exact same configuration.
Templates are retained until the cloud server is manually deleted from your account. You can restore a cloud server to an earlier time when the template was made.
Creating a template can take several minutes, depending on the size of your cloud server and the amount of data on it.
Importing a Custom VM Template
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. By importing an image of an existing VM, it saves you time and effort during the installation process as you do not need to redo the configuration and security settings again.
Our Templates currently support VMDK, RAW, VDI, VHDX and QCOW2 formats.
Regional Availability
Templates are available for all cloud servers.
Role Permissions
Limits
Each account can have up to 2 concurrent template copies of up to 150GB.
The templates cannot be transferred or used between different LayerStack accounts.
If you delete a cloud server in the account, the system will delete all the template copies. This action is irreversible even if it is performed by accident.
You will not have access to your Templates during a service suspension or termination.
