What is a template and what is it used for
A template is a preconfigured operating system image with preinstalled software and specific configurations, used as a starting point to quickly create a Cloud VPS. The template includes the operating system, configurations for specific requirements, security patches, and preinstalled software.
Benefits of choosing the right template
Templates vary depending on the operating system, version, and preinstalled applications. Choosing the right template when creating a Cloud VPS allows you to:
- save time when installing and configuring the system;
- have consistent Cloud VPS configurations across different environments;
- ensure compatibility with the applications you intend to use;
- avoid errors when installing or configuring the operating system or specific applications;
- get an environment optimized for specific requirements (e.g. web server, database server, mail server, etc.).
