Refreshing Templates
What is the best way to refresh a template in cloudstack?
Reasons one may want to refresh a template is to deploy the template with the latest patches, software etc.

I will definitely create an enhancement ticket for that.

So I created the JIRA improvement ticket.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7921
So how do the dev guys go about choosing which improvement tickets to work?

Hi Michael,
I would encourage you to create a JIRA enhancement ticket for the use case
of modifying a template (unless anyone knows why that would not be a viable
solution).
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel
The only thing that comes to mind is that it would be hard to know who is
running with the old versus the new template (unless we started keeping
track of that info, too).
Thanks,
Mike

That seems like the only method I have found as well. Only problem with that is I have a 3rd party software that integrates with CS and it uses CS to provision vm's etc. Deleting and re-uploading the template seems to break my 3rd party app because although the new template is named the same, it must have a new UUID or GUID.
Wonder if it would be possible to just replace the templates .vmdk file. Forgot to mention that this is a vmware template.

I'm thinking you have to delete the old one and replace it with a new one.
