Understood. you don’t have to, but you’ll get a better, cleaner, template if you’ve been using the original image before (added accounts, installed stuff…things people usually do when preparing a template:) we’re looking into integrating it into UI, as it is quite easy to omit a thing or two when sealing it manually It may make sense to use it for initialization during deployment as well as a replacement of cloud-init not requiring you to initialize it by running it. You would have to do it yourself, making sure the image is not in use while the operation is ongoing. I think it would also be nice to completely integrate it into “create VM from Template” flow. You would have a ready-to-go VMs customized at the time of creation already, instead of relying on runtime cloud-init Thanks, michal
