What sorts of "VM-specific" things are you thinking of? ie., from the perspective of something "running inside the VM", what is there that the configuration management software would even be able to see/detect/ manage? I mean, you could say "VMware-Tools", but, realistically, that's just another "package" installed on a given host, just like any other software package. What challenge are you trying to overcome?
