Handling Operating System Templates
OS Template Naming Convention
Template names should only include lowercase letters and dashes.
It's vital to stick to this naming scheme so the application can properly categorize and order your templates.
<os>
Avoid putting dashes in the <os> portion.
<key><number>
Examples:
centos8
debian12
win10
ubuntu2404
ubuntu2204
<template>
<os>-template-v<number>
Examples:
debian12-template-v21
ubuntu2204-template-v17
kali-template-v2
<dd4w>
dd4w-tpl-lxc-<os>-v<number>
dd4w-tpl-kvm-<os>-v<number>
Examples (all must begin with 'dd4w-'):
dd4w-tpl-kvm-win10-v5
dd4w-tpl-lxc-ubuntu2204-v2
Distribution
In this section, you're able to duplicate, delete, or compare every OS template accessible across your cloud environment in China. Remember that moving a large number of templates can affect your server’s network performance and overall experience. It’s best to schedule copy tasks outside of peak business hours.
Batch Deletion of OS Templates
A recently added feature lets you delete templates in bulk from multiple servers simultaneously. In the past, this was a slow, laborious process, but now it’s fast and straightforward.
- Just select a server that has the template you need, then pick 'Remove from .. ' (the 'Remove' option removes only a single template at a time)
- A list appears showing only the servers that hold this specific template.
- Tick the servers you want to delete the template from.
-
Click 'Submit' and confirm; the templates will then be removed.
