VMware Code Central: New Community to Share Scripts
June 23rd, 200933 views | 
Author: I was notified by Nava Davuluri of VMware Product Marketing that a new VMTN community site and blog has been created for the purpose of centrally organizing freely available VMware product scripting and code samples. In Davuluri’s words:
“These sample codes are related to products such as the new vSphereCLI, vCLI, Perl toolkit, Java Webservices SDK, etc.
I’m trying to involve the entire developer community in using(sharing/contributing) this site more.“
On the VMware Code Central Blog he explains Code Central “is intended for VMware community developers and system administrators who use VMware infrastructure and would like to have IT control through automation.” Apparently, the Code Central Blog will update what’s new on the Code Central Community Page on a weekly basis.
After quickly checking the CodeCentral Community page one can see the potential for this to become a great site for VMware administrators and developers. For example, Davuluri already has featured links to the following, well known community contributions :
- lamw: Backing up VMs in ESX(i) 3.5 and 4.x in vSphere SDK for Perl
- lucd: Guest Provisioning System in vSphere PowerCLI
- alanrenouf: Report into MS Word in vSphere PowerCLI
- esloof: Dynamic Resource Pool Calculator in vSphere PowerCLI
- tzamora: VMware Infrastructure Power Documeter in vSphere PowerCLI
- stumpr: FindDatacenterByHostname in vSphere SDK for Perl
Update your bookmarks and RSS readers. I’m sure the Code Central Blog and VMTN Community will become a great resource.
