Hello,

i’m trying to get a full automated install of rancher 2.x on an openstack cloud.  
But, i did not find a way to create the node templates except using the admin web interface,  
so is there a way to import/export nodes templates ? (using api or copying files to the rancher container)

Thanks.

Extremely needed. I also would like to automatize my cluster creation process.
