Creating a Template with the Template Builder

Create and edit templates from the Oracle Cloud Stack web console.
A template in Oracle Cloud Stack is in one of two states:
  • Published — Users in this cloud account can create stacks from this template.

  • Unpublished — This template is still in-progress, and is not available for stack creation.

An alternative to creating a new template is to copy an existing one. See Copying a Template.

Before creating your first template, configure the storage location for unpublished files. See Configuring Template Storage.

  1. Access the Oracle Cloud Stack console, and then click Templates.
  2. Click Unpublished.
  3. Click Add Template, and then select Create new Template.

    The Template Builder is displayed.

  4. In the text field at the top of the page, enter a name for this template.
  5. Optional: Click Blue arrow, and then enter a templateVersion and templateDescription.
  6. Click Save the current template Save icon.

    Oracle Cloud Stack automatically saves your template as you make changes, but as a precaution Oracle recommends that you routinely click Save the current template.

After creating a template, see Creating Template Parameters.
