Creating a template\vm from an ova and cloning it?

Terraform Providers

Currently, our Terraform configuration deploys three VMs from an OVA file by specifying a count of three. This approach necessitates uploading the 40GB OVA file separately for each VM, resulting in an unnecessarily lengthy process. Is there a method within Terraform to upload the OVA file just once and then clone it to create the three VMs?

Thank you for any guidance.

You can upload it to the content library and then clone from there as an option.
