+# VirtualMachineTemplate
+
+`VirtualMachineTemplate` is a Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition (CRD) that defines a template for a VirtualMachine. It is used to create a VirtualMachine object and then converts that into a template for future use. It utilizes the 'CloudInit' behind the scenes to configure the VirtualMachine. `VirtualMachineTemplate` has three main specs that you can define:
+
+- `cloudInitConfig`: This struct includes cloud-init configuration that will be used to configure the VirtualMachine. This field is mandatory to create a VirtualMachineTemplate.
+
+- `imageConfig`: This struct includes the image configuration that will be used to create the VirtualMachine from the template. You should use cloud-init compatible images within this field.
+
+- `virtualMachineConfig`: This struct includes the VirtualMachine configuration that will be used to create the VirtualMachine from the template. You can define the VirtualMachine configuration like cores, memory, disk, network, etc. within this field. This is non-mandatory struct and default values will be used if not defined.
+
+
+## Creating VirtualMachineTemplate
+
+To create a new VirtualMachineTemplate in Proxmox, you need to create a `VirtualMachineTemplate` object. This object should be generated by other VirtualMachineTemplate objects.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: proxmox.alperen.cloud/v1alpha1
+kind: VirtualMachineTemplate
+metadata:
+  name: virtualmachinetemplate-sample
+spec:
+  name: virtualmachinetemplate-sample
+  node: lowtower
+  cloudInitConfig:
+    ipConfig:
+      cidr: "24"
+      gateway: 10.153.0.1
+      ip: 10.153.0.99
+    password: ubuntu
+    upgradePackages: true
+    user: ubuntu 
+  imageConfig:
+    content: iso
+    filename: bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+    node: lowtower
+    storage: local
+    url: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+  virtualMachineConfig:
+    cores: 2
+    memory: 2048
+    network:
+      bridge: vmbr0
+      model: virtio
+    sockets: 1
+```
