In this video, I want to tell you about templates and clones. Templates and clones are important

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,879
in virtual environments as well as cloud. So how does it work? Well, templates can be

3
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:23,120
used to make creating virtual machines easier. In the template, standard settings are defined.

4
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,400
And as a result, while creating virtual machines from the template, only a little bit of customization

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,439
needs to be done. And that makes it easy to install a base virtual machine everywhere.

6
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:39,759
Vagrant is used as a common solution that uses templates to deploy multiple virtual

7
00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:45,599
machines in a faster, easier, and more efficient way. But Vagrant is not a part of Linux Plus,

8
00:00:45,599 --> 00:00:52,040
so I'm not going to explain how that works. And we don't have to, because all the virtualization

9
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:58,000
solutions have a template option and a clone option. A clone allows you to copy the current

10
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,880
state of a virtual machine. And creating a clone is always a smart idea if you are

11
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,080
going to create big modifications, because if it turns out not to work all right, you

12
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:15,199
can easily revert to the original state. Using clones makes testing easy. Test it in a clone,

13
00:01:15,199 --> 00:01:20,720
and if it doesn't work, you easily revert to the original virtual machine. A full clone

14
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,080
is a full copy of the virtual machine, which is used independent of the original VM. And

15
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,160
a linked clone depends on the original VM. If the original VM is deleted, the linked

16
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,559
clone won't work anymore.
