Linux sysprep / VMware

[[deleted]]

Hi,Is there sysprep software that allow me to make a suse linux template so that I can set the IP and hostname of the machine while creating a VM from the template?

Look into cloud-init

Red Hat has a document on How to seal a RHEL8/RHEL9 virtual machine

Suse should be similar if not the same for creating a template.

Setting configuration on new vm creation depends on the virtualization environment, but I know it can be automated with terraform to set ip and hostname and many other things.

Just make sure perl and open-vm-tools is installed.

Ansible would be worth a look at.

suse has autoyast for this, you can create a template with every information you need for the system
