A server template is a compute image plus some additional metadata (and perhaps meta-metadata) used to drive the configuration of the applications installed in the image. A server template could be used, for example, to build a server containing a pre-installed WordPress system and database, or it could be used to build a network appliance such as a VPN server or firewall. This session is to brainstorm and capture ideas for what a server template might look like, how it could be stored, and what the preliminary requirements are.
