Using the LibraryItem Service to Execute OVF-Specific Tasks

You can deploy virtual machines and vApps on hosts, clusters, and resource pools in your environment. You use the VM templates and vApp templates from an OVF package that is stored as a content library item.

With the vSphere Automation API, you can use the LibraryItem service to deploy virtual machines and virtual applications from library items that contain OVF packages. You can also use the LibraryItem vSphere Automation service to create library items from existing virtual machines and virtual appliances.
