Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is an open standard for packaging and distributing virtual appliances or, more generally, software to be run in virtual machines.. The standard describes an "open, secure, portable, efficient and extensible format for the packaging and distribution of software to be run in virtual machines".
It may also be distributed as Open Virtual Appliance (OVA), the .ova file format is interchangeable with .ovf. The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) publishes the OVF specification documentation. [1] Most virtualization platforms, including those from VMware, Microsoft, Oracle, and Citrix, can install virtual appliances from an OVF file. [2]

^ OS-level virtualization is described as "native" speed, however some groups have found overhead as high as 3% for some operations, but generally figures come under 1%, so long as secondary effects do not appear. ^ See [20] for a paper comparing performance of paravirtualization approaches (e.g. Xen) with OS-level virtualization
VyOS is an open source network operating system Linux distribution based on Debian. [2] VyOS provides a free routing platform that competes directly with other commercially available solutions from well-known network providers. Because VyOS is run on standard amd64 systems, it can be used as a router and firewall platform for cloud deployments.
VMware's (VMW) second-quarter fiscal 2020 results are expected to benefit from continued enterprise deal wins, portfolio strength and partnerships with the likes of AWS and IBM.
