VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit

The VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit is a toolkit designed by VMware, Inc. to assist developers in creating and managing virtual disk images associated with virtual machines. The kit includes a set of libraries and tools to enhance the functionality of VMware's virtual disk formats.

The kit allows developers to build applications that can read, write, modify, and manage virtual disks in various formats, including those used by VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, and VMware ESX/ESXi.

The toolkit includes several programming interfaces that can be used by developers to integrate with different operating systems and platforms. These interfaces allow developers to build custom applications tailored to their specific virtualization needs.

• The kit provides several sample applications that demonstrate how it can be used in conjunction with other technologies.
• Developers can use the kit to build software that integrates with storage arrays or disk images on physical machines by providing advanced features such as backup and recovery support.

The VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit provides a comprehensive solution for developing virtualization solutions that leverage VMware's virtual disk formats for efficient and scalable management of virtual disks associated with virtual machines.
