Create an Ubuntu 22.04 Template on vSphere 8.0

First open a browser and navigate to

https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/jammy/current/

jammy refers to the 22.04 and current is the latest stable version.

Then find the .ova file that is supported by VMWare as well as Virtualbox

Then login to your vsphere client, in this case I am running a vCenter 8.0.

I would suggest to create a folder for your VM Templates but it is optional, right click on the folder and select Deploy OVF Template

Select Local file and upload the file you downloaded. Click Next

Give it a name, select the location and click Next

Select the compute resource and click Next twice

Select the Storage and click Next

Select the Network and click Next

If you wish to Customize the template further go ahead and click Next and then Finish.

The template is being deployed

Once it is done, just right click on it and then under template, select Convert to template and select Yes
