Creating Templates

VM Templates

If you have built a custom image for a HyperCloud app, you'll need to create a VM Template to define the image and any context variables needed.

In HyperCloud, go to Templates > VMs, and Create a new Template.

template-create

General tab

  • Fill in the Name, and Description
  • Set the Memory and CPU values to the recommended values for your app.

template-general

Storage tab

  • Select your customized image.

template-storage

Context tab

  • Tick Add SSH Contextualization, if SSH access will be needed.
  • Tick Add Network contextualization

  • Tick Add OneGate Token if onegate access is needed (this is required for one-context-refresh )

  • Under 'User Inputs', Create the context variables your user should be prompted for on setup.

template-context

  • If there are variables that the user does not need to be prompted for, you can add them in Custom Vars.

template-custom-vars

This is the minimum required for most apps, but there is a lot more configuration in this menu, which you can set if needed.

When you're happy, click Create, to save the template.
