GitHub user daviftorres added a comment to the discussion: How to decouple an 
instance from a template?

Dear @jl0815 ,

I don't see any future issues if CloudStack (ACS) keeps a reference showing 
which templates the running VMs came from.

My past concern was simply that ACS defaults to linked volumes between 
instances and their templates. It uses a backing chain, meaning the VM disk 
relies on the original template.

If this link is a concern for you, there are a few ways to fix it. You can 
manually flatten the volumes using the CLI, or you can perform a backup and 
restore (the restored VM will be completely independent).

Hope this makes sense. Regards,
