In VMware, we can use VMware Tools or Open VM Tools (an open-source version) to execute commands within the VM. Commands can be sent through the VMware API, but this solution is more limited and depends on the specific version and capabilities of the VMware infrastructure. The functionality to execute specific commands, as qemu-agent would allow, is possible, but it’s not as robust or straightforward as in KVM. Nevertheless, VMware does allow certain administrative commands and interactions with VMs. In Xen, the functionality is more limited, as there is no direct equivalent to qemu-agent. While we can use xe-guest-utilities to get basic system status information and limited interactions, it doesn’t provide the same flexibility to send specific commands as in KVM. To achieve something similar in Xen, we would need to implement custom user scripts or use configuration tools like cloud-init to run commands at VM startup. However, this approach only works on the first boot, similar to using user-data. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
