    I am coming from a heavy Citrix VAAD shop that is switching to Parallels RAS and one of the features that is nice to have from VAAD is the ability to the master/template be a different resource size than the actual host pool. IE - Template can be set to 4vCPUs and 8GB or RAM while the host pool has 10vCPUs and 64GB of RAM. Currently whatever your template VM is what the host pool gets, even if you change it after the first deployment.

    This could be an additional setting under the host pool setup tab for resource allocation.
    Something like this:

    With Parallels RAS v21.2 (released June 23, 2026), we now support overriding additional settings at the host pool level for greater flexibility. This includes Organizational Units, Host Size, and various HA-related settings. Host Size override is now supported for Azure, AVD, AWS, and Nutanix, and we're planning to expand to other providers in the future.
