Customizing AppStack templates
When you create a new AppStack or Writable Volume, the starting point is to take a copy of the existing templates previously attached to the provisioning machine or user's virtual desktop machine.
VMware App Volumes ships with four different types of template as standard, which are:
- AppStack application template (20 GB)
- Writable Volumes template for user-installed applications (10 GB)
- Writable Volumes template for user profiles only (10 GB)
- Writable Volume for user profiles and user installed applications (10 GB)
The standard template for creating AppStacks is by default configured to be 20 GB in size. Although this is thin provisioned, it might not make sense to use a 20 GB disk if you are just deploying an application that is a few MB's in size for example.
On the flip side, you may also have a more complex application, where 20 GB is not big enough to accommodate updates and patches going forward.
In this section, we are going to look at how to customize...
