7.2. Creating Customized Containers

If you wish to use custom applications in multiple identical containers, you can create containers with necessary applications already preinstalled and tuned to meet your demands.

OpenVZ offers several ways to create customized containers with preinstalled applications:

  • From a golden image (an OS EZ template cache with preinstalled application templates).
  • From a custom OS EZ template that specifies a custom application package list.
  • From a custom configuration sample file that specifies custom application EZ templates.
