Hi, is it possible to prepare a vm template with a data disk? One or many?

Regards,

I would think you could overcome this to some extant with cloud-init on linux.

But...
Would require user to add a data disk when creating instance.
Limited to the 1 disk in the add instance wizard.
Possible errors if no data disk added by user.
Requires custom cloud-init configuration baked into the template.
Assumes device names are consistent (pretty sure this is true for specific Linux distros, but may not hold for all Linux distros).
Assumes cloud-init can be configured to do this with the version present on your distro.

So not optimal or as easy as a data disk being part of a template, but might work for your use case.
