Overview

  • vApp can contain multiple virtual machines.

  • Instead of creating a vApp based on a vApp template, you can

...

  • make a vApp using virtual machines from catalogs, new virtual machines, or a combination of both.

  • Building a vApp requires you to provide a name and, optionally, a description of the vApp. You can go back and add the virtual machines to the vApp

...

  • later
