Introduction
Virtual Machine Templates are master copies of virtual machines that can be used to create and provision virtual machines. Templates by design, cannot be powered on or edited since they offer a more secure way of preserving a virtual machine configuration that you want to deploy many times. With the RESTful API you can build your own Virtual Machines and then mark them as templates, and vice versa. With this resource you can list our publicly available Templates and any you have created.

As you can see, this resource looks pretty much as the Virtual Machine resource, and in fact it uses the VM resource to provide further information about the Template. At the end a Virtual Machine template is a Virtual Machine with a different state, however you cannot edit a template until it's marked as Virtual Machine. |
