Creating Customized Containers
If you wish to run one or several customized applications inside your Containers and the number
of such Containers is relatively large, you may think of a way to automate the process of
creating Containers that already have a number of applications installed and tuned to meet your
demands. So, you do not need to manually install and customize your applications every time
you create a new Container.
Parallels Server Bare Metal allows you to create customized Containers having a certain set of
customized applications installed inside them right after their creation in one of the following
ways:
 By making a customized base OS EZ template and using it as the basis for your Containers.
 By making a non-base OS EZ template and using it as the basis for your Containers.
 By making a customized application EZ template, adding it to a new configuration sample
file, and using this sample file as the basis for your Containers.
All these operations are described in the following subsections in detail.
