 </head>
 Creating virtual machines in a repeatable and reliable fashion can often be difficult. VMware vSphere offers the ability to build one VM that can then be converted to a template. The template can then be used to create identically configured VMs. Rancher leverages this capability within node pools to create identical RKE1 and RKE2 nodes.
 In order to leverage the template to create new VMs, Rancher has some [specific requirements](#requirements) that the VM must have pre-installed. After you configure the VM with these requirements, you will next need to [prepare the VM](#preparing-your-vm) before [creating the template](#creating-a-template). Finally, once preparation is complete, the VM can be [converted to a template](#converting-to-a-template) and [moved into a content library](#moving-to-a-content-library), ready for Rancher node pool usage.
