The key question, I think, is what for do you want to use this vmdk image? VMDK and copying/moving VMs to other hosts.Īs far as I understand it, vmdk itself is a hard drive image, it’s like a virtual hard drive.
Also I’ve never used VMWare, I’ve used VirtualBox and KVM/qemu. To tell the truth I don’t know about professional way and how companies do it ) And I would be interested to hear from people in the know.
