zw008/VMware-AIops
AI-powered skill for VMware VM lifecycle and deployment automation.
View on GitHub Updated 2026-06-16
What is zw008/VMware-AIops?
VMware AIops is a community skill created by a VMware engineer that equips AI coding assistants with structured access to vSphere environments. It focuses on VM lifecycle operations, template-based deployments, guest command execution, and basic cluster management without requiring manual scripting.
The skill works by exposing categorized tools that AI agents can call through CLI or MCP interfaces. It supports vSphere versions from 6.5 through 9.1 and automatically negotiates API compatibility during connection.
It targets VMware administrators and developers who want to automate routine infrastructure tasks inside tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI while keeping destructive operations isolated from read-only monitoring workflows.
What you can build with zw008/VMware-AIops
Automated VM Deployment
