What Is a Content Library
A content library
instance represents a container for a set of library items. A content library
item instance represents the logical object stored in the content library,
which might be one or more usable files.
You create and manage the content of a content
library on a single
vCenter Server
instance, but
you can distribute the content to other vCenter Server
instances. Depending on your needs, you can maintain two types of
content libraries: local and subscribed. You can shape the contents of a library item and then
combine several library items in a local content library. Furthermore, you can publish the
library to make its content available to other users.
