Upload a vApp Template
You can upload an OVF package as a vApp template to make the template available to other users. vCloud

vCloud Director supports OVFs based on the OVF Specification. If you upload an OVF package that
includes deployment options, those options are preserved in the vApp template.
You can quarantine files that users upload to vCloud Director so that you can process the files before you
accept them. For example, you can scan the files for viruses. See “Quarantine Uploaded Files,” on page 145.
