Virtual Machine Template VMware, in this blog, I will show you how to convert a Virtual Machine by using vCenter to a template.
Introduction
The benefits of virtualization are that you can quickly deploy new systems without having to install operating systems each time. Perfectly, we only need to create a VM and install an operating system once.
Then you can convert Virtual Machine to a template, which can be utilized to deploy multiple virtual machines quickly
