Managing Virtual Data Center Templates

Starting with VMware Cloud Director 10.2.2, you can create and share virtual data center (VDC) templates with tenant organizations so that organization administrators can use the templates to create VDCs.

By creating and sharing VDC templates with organizations, you can enable self-service provisioning of organization VDCs while retaining administrative control over allocation of system resources such as provider VDCs and external networks.

A VDC template specifies the allocation model, memory, CPU resource configuration and storage policies for the new organization VDC, and optionally, an edge gateway and organization VDC network.
