When you have a need to enable the same services on multiple hosts, creating a template and applying it to the applicable hosts can save you time. You can apply one template to up to 100 hosts without the hassle of creating the same configurations repeatedly. In addition, each template can serve up to 500 hosts. Using templates can also simply planning, deployment, and maintenance for your BloxOne infrastructure.
A template is a set of service configurations you define for a host. When creating a template, BloxOne takes a snapshot of all the services on the host, including the following information: service name, service type, service description, service tags, and interface labels (interface bindings).
