Deploying VMs using the clone provisioning method

Perform the following steps to deploy the VM using clone provisioning:

1. Open the Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager), then select the Template_CentOS virtual machine. Right-click on it and select the Clone option, which will open the Clone Virtual Machine window:

   

2. Provide a name for the resulting virtual machine and click on the Clone button to start the deployment. Wait till the cloning operation finishes.

3. Once it's finished, your newly deployed virtual machine is ready to use and you can start using it:

   KVMHOST# virsh list  --all
    Id  Name                         State
   -------------------------------------------
    24  Fed21                        running
    -   CentOS_LAMP1                 shut off
    -   CentOS_LAMP2                 shut off
    -   Template_CentOS              shut off
   

CentOS_LAMP1 and CentOS_LAMP2 are two virtual machines deployed from Template_CentOS but as we used clone provisioning they are independent; even if you remove...
