Does ESXi have anything like Easy Install?

One time-saving feature in Workstation is Easy Install - if I want to make a quick one-use throwaway VM, I can just point Easy Install to the OS installation ISO, click Next a bunch of times, wait ~10 minutes, and I have a usable VM. Is there anything similar in ESXi?

What about templates or clones? Would this work for you?

Templates are EasyInstall only.

Or u can use any third party software.
