How do I integrate an extension with the vCenter Extension vServiceLast Updated December 16, 2024
The vCenter Extension vService simplifies the installation and deployment of extensions. By integrating an extension with the vCenter Extension vService you can deploy extensions from the
vSphere Client
without having to enter the connection parameters of the vCenter Server
on which you install the extension, or provide the login credentials for that vCenter Server
instance.The vCenter Extension vService performs the following functions for solutions that you integrate with it.
- Provides the extension with the connection parameters of thevCenter Serverinstance.
- Registers the extension certificate withvCenter Server.
For example, to deploy your solution you can provide the IP address and login credentials in the
mysolution
.properties
file, which requires you to update the solution for every vCenter Server
instance on which you install it. By integrating an extension with the vCenter Extension vService, you avoid this manual step.
