03/26/2023, 1:57 PMGlad you found a solution. Are you saying that you are using Rancher Manager to deploy RKE2 clusters with nodes running in vSphere, and you needed to figure out how to compose the disk images for the nodes?

03/26/2023, 2:32 PMYes exactly.
I was previously using https://github.com/David-VTUK/Rancher-Packer to make images.

03/26/2023, 5:53 PMAn option to use prepackaged images to deploy would be awesome. Ubuntu cloud images would be great, save me the need to update the ova and convert to template

03/26/2023, 5:56 PMWould that be a vSphere feature? I know in Harvester I can create images from the cloud image qcow2 file, then use the image as a volume on a VM.

03/26/2023, 6:02 PMOh I was thinking that could be an option on the vsphere driver for rancher

03/26/2023, 6:02 PMLike instead of choosing a VM template from a library or whatever there could be an option to use cloud images, which rancher would download and push to vsphere

03/26/2023, 6:03 PMThat would be convenient.

03/26/2023, 6:03 PMIn my renewed mental model, I think image maintenance is perhaps an anti pattern.
A better way could be to use manifests to update the host's configuration
