In this chapter, we discussed in detail how to create Linux and Windows virtual machines and their templates and guest agent's installations in order to enhance performance. We also learned how to create a virtual machine from templates, clone a new virtual machine from templates, and learned about the virtual machine snapshot features of RHEV, such as creating and restoring virtual machines from snapshots. Finally, we learned how to export the virtual machines and templates so that they can be imported to other data centers in the same RHEV environment as well as how to import them to a newer RHEV environment.

In the next chapter, we will discuss high availability features of RHEV, including how to enable high availability for virtual machines and set different priorities, host high availability and cluster policies, and live migration of virtual machines across the hosts in a cluster, and more.
