      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I need to create an appliance.&amp;nbsp; I can:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Export an existing Vm as an appliance from vsphere client&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Use a program like VMware studio to create it for me&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What is the best way to create it?&amp;nbsp; The goal is to make it as easy to administer within vCenter as possible - get all the info on it in the vCenter Web Client that I can, make tools an hardware easy to update/upgrade, etc.&amp;nbsp; Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you.&amp;nbsp; I realize it is possible to export an ova from vCenter - my question was around why I would choose to do it that way vs using VMware studio or another method....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example I know VMware studio creates a VAMI for your applaince, which just exporting from vCenter doesn't.&amp;nbsp; It also creates CIM providers, which I'm not sure if an export from vCenter does.&amp;nbsp; What else differentiates the process of just exporting from vCenter from other methods which may add more functionaility or maintainability to the appliance?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
