Out of curiosity, why cloning a VM and not provisioning the VMs from
template(s)?
Most of our students are IT-related, and their professors want to teach
them the procedure to deploy a VM from scratch. Some other courses surely
deploy their VMs from a template as they are not that IT oriented and they
just want to have a working VM instead of building it from scratch. We have
a lot of casuistry, but in our case about 400~500 students would very
welcome having back the clone option.
Thanks Nicolás.
I'd say that even for the IT-related students it may make more sense to
provision VMs from templates instead of cloning VMs -
so you want them to deploy VMs from scratch, which means starting with a VM
that is based on the blank template, add disk(s) and other devices, install
and configure the guest and such; and then the students would use clone-VM
to duplicate the VM they just prepared, right?
Why would you want them to clone the VM rather than creating a template out
of this VM and provision further VMs from that template with
thin-provisioned disks?
