### StandaloneVMs
### Standalones
When you create a [StandaloneVM](/doc/standalone-and-hvm/) from a template, the StandaloneVM is a complete clone of the template, including the entire filesystem.
After the moment of creation, the StandaloneVM is completely independent from the template.

After the moment of creation, the standalone is completely independent from the template.
Therefore, it will not be updated when the template is updated.
Rather, it must be updated individually.
The process for installing and updating software in StandaloneVMs is the same as described above for templates.

The above covers updating *within* a given operating system release.
Eventually, however, most operating system releases will reach [end-of-life (EOL)](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life), after which point they will no longer be supported.
This applies to [Qubes OS itself](/doc/supported-versions/#qubes-os) as well as operating systems used for templates and StandaloneVMs, such as [Fedora](/doc/templates/fedora/) and [Debian](/doc/templates/debian/).

It is very important to use only supported releases, since generally only supported releases receive security updates.
This means that you must periodically upgrade to a newer release before your current release reaches EOL.
In the case of Qubes OS itself, we will always [announce](/news/categories/#releases) when a given Qubes OS release is approaching and has reached EOL, and we will provide [instructions for upgrading to the next stable supported Qubes OS release](/doc/upgrade/).
Again, you can always see the current support status for all Qubes OS releases [here](/doc/supported-versions/#qubes-os).
Periodic upgrades are also important for templates and StandaloneVMs.
Periodic upgrades are also important for templates and standalones.
For example, you might be using a [Fedora Template](/doc/templates/fedora/).
The [Fedora Project](https://getfedora.org/) is independent of the Qubes OS Project.
They set their own [schedule](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle#Maintenance_Schedule) for when each Fedora release reaches EOL.
