the resources that a machine that is provisioned by the blueprint consumes.
Prerequisites
Specify vApp Component Blueprint Information.
Procedure

template specified in the Clone from text box on the vApp blueprint is used. You can specify a
template to clone from on a vApp component blueprint if there are one or more settings in the
template that you want to use in your component blueprint, for example a specific endpoint, compute
resource, and storage setting combination.
6 (Optional) Select a template to clone.
