anything that can be used to deploy vms .. i'm not referring to the native technique within vcenter.
right now I concocted a home made provisioning solution using powercli, it works great but I want to know what else is out there.
my script will select the storage, create a vm from template, assigned the cpu,memory based off my given requirement, add hard disks as needed, update vmwaretools among a few other smaller items..
I am looking for something to do the above as an example...
