Hi Laszlo,
it is not useful just for public clouds - it can be pretty useful for private as well. But
to keep the previous way, it could be done this way:
- on the advanced screen (after clicking "show advanced options" you can specify
the template)
- by default you pick on basic view the instance type (e.g. HW profile) and the Image
(e.g. disk with some metadata such as OS type). But, you can select custom instance type
(equivalent to blank template) and no Image. In this case the template appears also on
basic view and you can select it.
What do you think?
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
I like the idea in general, but for me the instance types looks like a feature that is
typical in public clouds, while in private clouds it looks more like a cool extra feature
for special cases. Therefore in my opinion it would be great to keep the old template
solution as well to keep it simple for most users. A template could be an instance type
and an image together. Only the description overlap, and that could be solved.
Thanks,
Laszlo

Subject: [Engine-devel] Instance Types Feature
Hi All,
this is the proposed new feature called instance types:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Instance_Types
Long story short - it should basically split the VM template into:
- "hardware profile" called instance types
- "software profile" called image
This should enable to do something like: Create a new "small" VM and
attach a disk with "RHEL + Postgres" installed.
Any comments are more than welcome!
Tomas
