I'm waiting for a box to arrive on which I can install ESXi. I'm trying to hammer out the scripting/automation functionalities and limitations of using ESXi without Foundation or Infrastructure. We're currently using VMware Server and the Perl API to do things like load files into running VMs, run scripts inside VMs, and periodically restart VMs. Is it possible to script any of these functions using the Perl API (or other API) using ESXi free? Thanks!
