Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for allowing a user to capture a set of values for a set of input parameters in a template that may be used for present and/or future provisioning of virtual resources. Under this approach, the template may be managed within a networked computing environment (e.g., cloud computing environment) for future use by the creating user or other authorized users. The next time the user is interacting with the environment, the set of templates available may be accessed, and the user can select/utilize a previously stored template. Once a template is chosen, the user may initiate a provisioning request from the environment's interface(s), which may include graphical user interfaces (GUIs), command lines, application programming interfaces (APIs), etc. In any event, the user may also have the opportunity to update any saved data and/or provide additional data.
