> Key: CLOUDSTACK-491
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-491
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> 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).
