An '''OS template cache''' is an [[OS template]] installed into a [[container]] and then packed into a gzipped tarball. Using such a cache, a new [[container]] can be created in a matter of minutes, if not seconds.

OS template cache can either be created from [[OS template metadata]] using vzpkg tools, or by other means.
