When do you define a template Jclouds searchs and builds a node (fox example a AMI in Amazon) which matchs with the template specification?
From my understanding, it doesn't *build* a "custom" node, it simply searches for an existing AMI that matches the requirements that you set in the template.
For things like memory size which are based (in EC2) on the instance that is instantiated, jclouds will choose an instance type (micro, medium etc.) that meets the requirements, if that is possible.
Hope that helps. jclouds EC2 experts will hopefully be able to expand on/correct my comments!
