An OVF package always contains exactly one OVF descriptor (a file with extension .ovf). The OVF descriptor is an XML file which describes the packaged virtual machine; it contains the metadata for the OVF package, such as name, hardware requirements, references to the other files in the OVF package and human-readable descriptions.
Virtual appliances are provided to the user or customer as files, via either electronic downloads or physical distribution. The file format most commonly used is the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). It may also be distributed as Open Virtual Appliance (OVA), the .ova file format is interchangeable with .ovf.
Virtual appliances distributed as virtual machine types such as: Open Virtualization Format (OVA) - As of v14.0 was the default VM format. It supports VirtualBox and most VMware products (e.g. Workstation, Player, Fusion and vSphere/ESX). Also includes open-vmtools (for VMware).
A new VM storage scheme where all VM data is stored in one single folder to improve VM portability; Several UI enhancements including a new look with VM preview and scale mode; On 32-bit hosts, VMs can each use more than 1.5 GB of RAM; In addition to OVF, the single file OVA format is supported; CPU use and I/O bandwidth can be limited per VM
A flat image allocates space ahead of time while a sparse image grows as the virtual machine writes to it. Flat images can use the underlying file system's sparse file capability, as is done with the vmfs format on ESXi. An image can also refer to a parent image and only store changes made in a copy-on-write fashion. This enables creating a ...
