If you want to see the steps involved in getting a Windows environment ready for VIC, check out this post here from Cody over at the humble lab. I have gone with deploying the VCH from a Windows environment using vic-machine. Once deployed, you can point a web browser at the OVA and pull down the vic-machine components directly to deploy the VCH(s). Now onto deploying my VCH with VIC v1.1.įirst things first – VIC now comes as an OVA.

There are still some limitations to using instant clone, and the VIC team decided not to pursue this option just yet, as they wished to leverage the full set of vSphere core features.

VIC v1.1 is not using VM fork/instant clone. Before diving into that however, I do want to clarify one point that comes up quite a bit.

Once the VCH is deployed, at that point you have the docker API endpoint to start deploying your “containers as VMs”.

What I’ve decided to do in the post is highlight some of the new command line options that are necessary to deploy the VCH, the Virtual Container Host. While I’ve done quite a bit of work with VIC in the past, a number of things have changed, especially in the command line. I got an opportunity recently to give it a whirl. VMware recently release vSphere Integrated Containers v1.1.
