Packer and Vsphere

[Rutuja Kadam]

Is there any builder type for Vsphere in packer?

[Rickard von Essen]

No there is currently not, but you can use vmware-iso 1) to build either on VMware Fusion/Workstation or ESXi and then the vsphere or vsphere-template 2) post-processor to upload it to your vSphere installation.

And actually  there is a thirdparty plugin from JetBrains for vSphere 3) and an open PR for adding support for vSphere, but it is not very active 4).

How can we write the builder type as VMware esxi?
