Somewhat related: anyone know if the "API" for ESXi/vSphere works on the free version?
I've considered putting the free hypervisor on a server here at home instead of using VirtualBox on my laptop for my test VMs but I'd want to be able to create/provision/etc. VMs using my own tools (and not have to fire up a Windows machine to run the vSphere client).
- The_Reckoning 11y agoAs of a few months ago, no. They only open up the API when you license it. They may change it in the future as they no longer have a strangle hold on the hypervisor market, but traditionally, they withhold that API functionality in the free version.
