# Deploy an OVF Template through Content Libraries

**Learn how to deploy OVF templates offered by OVHcloud.**

OVHcloud offers OVF templates that you can deploy directly from your vSphere _(version 7.0 or later)_ across [content libraries](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-254B2CE8-20A8-43F0-90E8-3F6776C2C896.html).

 

## Requirements

- web client access (HTML5)

 

## Instructions

### Step 1 - Deploying a template

**Tip:**

Click each tab across the top to view all content.

#### From a content library

You can find the content libraries your vSphere has signed up to via your vSphere homepage, by clicking the `Content Libraries` icon.

Then click on one of the libraries to view their contents and deploy a new virtual machine from the `OVF & OVA Templates` tab.

#### Directly from the Cluster view

You can also deploy content from libraries directly from the _Cluster_ view by right-clicking one of your clusters and selecting `New Virtual Machine`.

Then select the `Deploy from template` option.

Click on one of the templates offered by the content libraries installed on your vSphere.

 

### Step 2 - Configuring the template

The template deployment process will ask you to confirm the details and a destination for the new virtual machine (data center, cluster, datastore, etc.).

Some templates accept deployment properties that allow you to quickly configure the new virtual machine by creating, for example, a privileged user or configuring the main network interface.

Templates that do not offer customization will have the default credentials specified in the virtual machine notes.
