Hi Piers, We do a lot of clean build testing including re-deploying Secondary Storage so we just host all the templates internally then update the DB using Ansible during the initial deployment of CloudStack, also via Ansible etc

One of the things that takes a long time (and adds to the bandwidth costs for everyone) is running cloud-install-sys-tmplt and re-downloading the initial templates. I guess a work around would be to save the file to a local web server and change the URL in cloud-install-sys-tmplt -u Another option might be to scan the /secondary directory and do an md5 hash on any images that are there (of a certain size) - if they match then to keep the existing file and update the image database with the id / path. If there is an easier way then please let me know as I haven't come across it in the docs (yet). Just an idea whilst I wait for the progress bar to complete......
