A Data Management for VMware Tanzu template is a software blueprint for deploying a specific version of a specific data service. You view and manage templates from the Templates view.
The Templates view includes information about the type, version, and number of deployed Service Instances:
- The Service Type identifies the type of service.
- The Version column identifies the version of the database.
- The Status column identifies the current status of the template.
- Deployed Instances identifies the number of currently deployed Service Instances for each service/version combination.
- Actions displays a pop-up menu that identifies the actions that you can perform on the template.
You can use the buttons on the upper-left side of the Templates view to filter the templates by those available, published, unpublished, or retired. The CLEAR FILTERS button on the upper-right side of the view clears any filters that you may have applied to the view.
