Explanation:
Within these Templates, Oracle software is automatically configured in the same manner as if the software had been installed and patched manually. Accordingly, Oracle VM Templates can also be fully customized post-install and then re-saved as - golden image ǁ Templates in Oracle VM. Such Templates can serve as a user's enterprise deployment standard to minimize risks and variation across multiple instance deployments. All of the existing Oracle VM Templates that were certified with Oracle VM server 2.x are also certified with Oracle VM Server 3.
An application assembly is very similar to an Oracle VM Template except that an additional set of configuration information and management policies are packaged along with the set of multiple virtual machines, their virtual disks, and the inter-connectivity between them. These assemblies are packaged using the industry-standard Open Virtualization Format (OVF) for the configuration and policy information.
Assemblies can be created as a set of .ovf Open Virtualization Format and disk image (.img) files, or may all be contained in a single Open Virtualization Format Archive (.ova) file.
