Also, that 2-step approach makes implementation straight forward:
> 1.) create template: create a read-only snapshot of all used VM disks
nexenta, rdb and sheepdog: use storage snapshot feature
nfs, directory: we simply make a copy of the image
> 2.) clone template: make a writable copy of above templates
nexenta, rdb and sheepdog: use storage clone feature
nfs, directory: we have to options here
- create linked clone: qcow2 with base image
- create full clone: copy template images
