Abstract: Virtualized computing instances, such as virtual machines, in a virtualized computing environment are provisioned using a tree-based template structure. The tree-based template structure includes a base node and multiple nodes linked to the base node. Each of the multiple nodes includes at least one component that represents a delta relative to the base node. By matching the requirements and role of a virtualized computing instance to be provisioned with the content(s) of a particular node, the particular node can be selected for cloning/creating the virtualized computing instance.

Abstract: System and methods for creating and configuring virtual machines (VMs) are provided. The method may include receiving, a first VM configuration and a second VM configuration. The second VM configuration is related to the first VM configuration. The method may include creating a first plurality of VMs in a first VM group based on the first VM configuration and creating a second plurality of VMs in the first VM group based on the second VM configuration. The method may further include applying the affinity rule in the first VM configuration to the first plurality of VMs and the second plurality of VMs. The method may further include configuring the first plurality of VMs based on the set of VM services in the first VM configuration and the second plurality of VMs based on the set of VM services in the second VM configuration.
