VMware VIX is a software development kit (SDK) created by VMware, Inc. that allows developers to build applications and scripts that automate virtual machine (VM) operations such as starting, stopping, pausing, and resizing.
The SDK supports a variety of programming languages including C, C++, Perl, Python, and Java. It also includes a set of command-line utilities for interacting with VMs and an API for controlling VMs remotely over a network.
- One of the key features of VMware VIX is its ability to integrate with VMware Workstation, Server, and ESXi hypervisors. This allows developers to create applications that can control multiple virtual machines running on different hosts without having to manually interact with each one.
- The SDK also provides features for creating and manipulating virtual disks, mounting ISO images, and setting up virtual networks. These capabilities make it easier for developers to test and deploy their applications in complex virtual environments.
Another benefit of VMware VIX is its compatibility with various operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. This makes it ideal for developers who need to create cross-platform applications that can be used in different environments.
VMware VIX is a powerful SDK that provides developers with the tools they need to automate VM operations, manage virtual disks and networks, and create cross-platform applications for virtual environments. Its compatibility with various programming languages and operating systems makes it a popular choice among developers who work with virtualization technologies.
