VM Pools and time of creating VMs
Hi everyone, What's the difference in mechanisms of creating virtual machines between normal create VM from template and create it via VM Pool? I see that if I create VM in normal way, it takes much much more time then create via VM Pool. It's a little bit strange for me.

pool defaults to thinly provisioned VMs (qcow2). New (server) VMs default to raw/clone (full copy)
This is however not the main difference between pools and single vms, because you can also create thin single vms without a pool. pools are for mass-starting vms all dependent on the same template. for example in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) this makes sense.
