Update-
Vm's instantiated from template set with Virtio disk/nic actually do not
carry those configuration settings from template to instance.
How do I maintain my virtio disk/nic settings from template to instances?
Appreciate the advice.
Thanks

Hey Folks,
Is there a way to change the default virtual machine settings? IE-
nic/disk type/bus/etc. so that they can be set to virtio or other
values? Is there a way to change these default settings?
If so, where would I make this change?
I'm not seeing this documented anywhere and the workaround i've sorted
out is to create a custom vm with all the virtual hardware set as I like
it, ie- virtio for disk/nic improved performance, qcow2 for thin disks;
and then upload the template into cloudstack.
From what I can see CS sticks with whatever settings were set from the
template which is good for me. But this seems like alot of extra work to
create a template externally to CS.
There must be a way to define how CS creates my initial vms?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

PS- for those of you who have suffered trying to figure out the virtio
drivers, the vm's virtual hardware must be configured as virtio devices
in order for the drivers to load.
