Provision vSphere Hosts Rapidly
VMware vSphere® Auto Deploy™ facilitates rapid server deployment and provisioning of vSphere hosts by leveraging the network boot capabilities of x86 servers together with the small footprint of the VMware® ESXi™ hypervisor. With Auto Deploy, vSphere hosts are network-booted from a central Auto Deploy server where the ESXi software is installed directly into the server’s memory. Once installed, a VMware® vCenter™ host profile is used to configure the host. After configuration, the host is connected to vCenter where it is available to host virtual machines. The entire process is fully automated, allowing new hosts to be provisioned with no manual intervention.

This should be D, not Auto Deploy. Auto Deploy is for hosts, not VMs.
D, its much faster with a template
