Editing the Golden Image
In Parallels DaaS, the Golden Image has two important uses:
It is the system image that is used on all virtual machines. To change the configuration of the virtual machines, you need to edit the Golden Image accordingly.
It is the repository of all applications that are available to users. For a user to access an application, it must be installed on the Golden Image.
To edit the Golden Image:
Go to the Golden Image category, and click the Edit button. Parallels DaaS will start a remote connection to the Golden Image. When you open the Golden Image for the first time, the connection will take about ten minutes. You can cancel the connection by clicking the Discard Changes button in the top right corner.
Modify the Golden Image. For example, you can install new applications or edit desktop settings. While you are connected to the Golden Image, you have access to Session Toolbar.
Click the Save & Exit button in the top right corner to apply changes. Saving changes may take several minutes. You can safely close the tab during this operation. Once the operation is completed, the new applications will be visible when you try to add a new application from the Applications category.
Next, you need to publish resources that will be available to your users.
