Hey guys, in case you ade creating templates these are the commands to run when you create a Linux VM template as it will allow them to be generalized when you clone them.

sudo rm -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
sudo truncate -s 0 /etc/machine-id
sudo rm -f /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
sudo cloud-init clean
sudo shutdown -h now
