In some embodiments, user 102 skips one or more of the requested parameters in each of input forms 210, 220, and 230. In some embodiments, user 102 modifies the parameters that are changing to replace the preconfigured cluster template.

FIG. 2D is a pictorial representation of a data center template display 240, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.

In some embodiments, when user 102 wants to make a change in any parameter, user 102 simply fills a profile template, such as templates 210, 220, and 230, and creates a new master template 240.

In some embodiments, master template 240 is part of an inventory management display 241 that is part of user interface 106. Based upon the inputs of user 102 master template display 240 displays a BareMetal profile 242, a cluster profile 244, cluster name 246, a workflow 248, cluster number 250 and a worker node 252. New cluster “GC_Cluster” shown at cluster name 246 is now ready to be implemented with the inputted parameters submitted by user 102.

FIG. 3 is a pictorial representation of cluster template selection display 300, in accordance with some embodiments.

User 102 is able to select the newly created template in box 302 of display 300. When user 102 selects to use a new template, a confirmation screen is presented as shown in FIG. 4.
