random number generator (RNG) device was added to Blank template and predefined instance types. This means
Doc Text that new VMs will have RNG device by default.

Note: RNG device was not added to user-created instance types or templates (to avoid unexpected changes in behavior) so if user wants to have RNG device on new VMs that are created based on custom
Doc Text instance types or templates RNG device needs to be added to these instance types / templates manually.

Previously, when creating cluster, selecting /dev/random as the random number generator was optional. In this release, this source is no longer optional as it required by all hosts. Therefore, it has been removed from the relevant windows. The random number generator (RNG) device was added to Blank template and predefined instance types. This means that new Virtual Machines will have the RNG device by default.
Note that the RNG device was not added to user-created instance types or templates, and administrators must manually add the RNG to new Virtual Machines based on these instance types or templates.

With this release, ‘/dev/random’ is now the default random number generator in clusters with a cluster compatibility level of ‘4.0’ and below, and ‘/dev/urandom’ is now the default random number generator in clusters with a cluster compatibility level of ‘4.1’ and above. Because these random number generators are enabled by default, the option to enable them has now been removed from the ‘New Cluster’ and ‘Edit Cluster’ windows. However, you can select the random number generator source for individual virtual machines from the ‘New Virtual Machine’ and ‘Edit Virtual Machine’ windows.
