> from Sean
> This module is designed to work against VirtualCenter/vCenter, but should be
> able to work directly with an ESX host as well. It works a little
> differently from the existing ESX modules in that it uses the VMware perl API
> directly instead of calling the helper apps. In addition, it also greatly
> reduces the amount of disk space and deployment time necessary.
> Instead of cloning the VM for deployment, this module uses ESX to create a
> snapshot of the golden image disk, and uses that for the deployed VM. This
> means the only disk space used for the deployed VM is the differences between
> it and the master. Likewise, no time is needed to copy all the bits, so
> creating the VM takes seconds instead of minutes.
