Application Templates (AT's) are commonly found when using Virtualization as a means to try out new software without having to perform a full manual install. Unfortunately, OpenVZ, as of yet, doesn't have any precreated AT's for people to try out, which might be attributed to the lack of documentation on how to create them. [http://termpaper.biz/ writing term papers here] The primary goal of this howto is to give an overview of how an AT can be created for OpenVZ without too much trouble. This howto assumes the user is familiar with basic OpenVZ terminology and operation, so basic tasks such as setting VE memory, networking parameters, package repositories, etc are not covered here.
