Part III. Working with Services
We saw in Part II how we can provision virtual machines from the WebUI. This process involves entering values for the many provisioning dialog options, such as our name and email address, and the desired configuration of the virtual machine—the number of CPUs, amount of memory, disk format, and vLAN, for example.
CloudForms also enables us to create service catalogs with which we can provision preconfigured virtual machines from a single Order button (see Figure III-1).

In Part III we’ll learn about creating and using services.
