[one-users] Creation of templates by cloud users in Sunstone 4.2.0 views

[Daniel Molina]

Hi Gerry,

As you said the old OCCI-based self-service is deprecated and the ui was
removed from the code. You should be able to use it from the CLI, but it
will be also removed sooner or later.

The current cloud view [1], that was implemented to replace the  old
self-service, allows you to select a template and na image and launch a new
instance without creating new templates. The only part missing for you use
case is the network, so maybe we can add this option for upcoming releases,
please open a feature request in our dev page so we can consider it.

Meanwhile you could use the cloud view and create templates that already
define the network (i.e.: small_and_private_net, small_and_public_net,
large_and_private_net ...)

Cheers
