VMware ESXi #

BurmillaOS automatically detects that it is running on VMware ESXi, and automatically adds the open-vm-tools service to be downloaded and started, and uses guestinfo keys to set the cloud-init data.

BurmillaOS releases anything required for VMware, which includes initrd, a standard ISO for VMware, a vmdk image, and a specific ISO to be used with Docker Machine. The open-vm-tools is built in to BurmillaOS, there is no need to download it.

You can download those files from https://github.com/burmilla/os/releases/
