----------------------------------------
Summary: Instance Cloning
Key: CLOUDSTACK-491
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-491
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Template
Reporter: Clayton Weise
Priority: Minor
In some cases the template process can be exhaustive and wasteful. Templates
make sense for large scale deployments of a common image but sometimes there
is a need to make one or two clones of a system. The process of creating a
template, offloading to secondary storage, then loading it _back_ onto primary
only to make one or two copies of an instance seems unnecessary if there was
simply an ability clone either directly on primary storage using a writable
snapshot feature or offloading to secondary storage temporarily then removing
the data once the copy has been made (similar to how volumes are imported).
