NetBox version

3.5.0

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Possibility to template VM configurations.
The recently released feature for templating (#11559) does not seem to have a way of linking a virtual machine to a configuration template.

Use case

Dynamically generate things like cloud-init, ignition, libvirt etc.
Similar use cases to devices, just for virtual ones :)

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response
