A build executor template defines the operating system and the software packages your organization's members need to run builds on VM executors.

VB Studio offers some executor templates out-of-the-box, but you can create more templates if the default templates don't meet your requirements. See Create and Manage Build Executor Templates.

Some key points to remember about executor templates:

• Each executor template contains an Oracle Linux operating system, Java, and some required software packages. If required, you can install more software packages available in the VB Studio Software Catalog.
• You can't add a software package or a version that's not available in the VB Studio Software Catalog.
• In the Software Catalog, some software packages have multiple versions. You can add only one version to the executor template. However, you can add multiple versions of Java to an executor template.
• Executor templates don't consume storage space or increase your cost. You can create as many executor templates as you require.
• Some software packages, such as Fn and Oracle Jet, require other software packages in the same executor template. When you add these software packages, VB Studio prompts you to add the dependent software packages.
• Don't add unnecessary software packages to an executor template. The more software packages you add to an executor template, the more storage space its VM executors consume when they run builds.
