Templates may be deleted. In general, when a template spans multiple Zones, only the copy that
is selected for deletion will be deleted; the same template in other Zones will not be deleted. The
provided CentOS template is an exception to this. If the provided CentOS template is deleted, it will be
deleted from all Zones.
When templates are deleted, the VMs instantiated from them will continue to run. However, new VMs
cannot be created based on the deleted template.
