	Provisioning Fedora CoreOS on VMware
	This guide shows how to provision new Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) nodes on the VMware hypervisor.
	Fedora CoreOS supports VMware ESXi ≥ 7.0, VMware Workstation ≥ 16, and VMware Fusion ≥ 12. It may be possible to xref:provisioning-vmware.adoc#_modifying_ovf_metadata[modify the metadata of the OVF] to run in older VMware products, but compatibility and supportability cannot be guaranteed.
	Prerequisites	Prérequis
	Before provisioning an FCOS machine, you must have an Ignition configuration file containing your customizations. If you do not have one, see xref:producing-ign.adoc[Producing an Ignition File].
	Fedora CoreOS has a default `core` user that can be used to explore the OS. If you want to use it, finalize its xref:authentication.adoc[configuration] by providing e.g. an SSH key.
	You also need to have access to a working VMware infrastructure, supporting VMs with at least hardware version 13. The examples below use the https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/v0.29.0/govc/README.md[govc] command-line tool for remote vSphere provisioning and the https://code.vmware.com/web/tool/4.4.0/ovf[ovftool] for local Workstation or Fusion provisioning.
	Downloading the OVA
	Fedora CoreOS is designed to be updated automatically, with different schedules per stream. Once you have picked the relevant stream, you can download the latest OVA:
	STREAM="stable" coreos-installer download -s "${STREAM}" -p vmware -f ova
	Alternatively, OVA images can be manually downloaded from the https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/download/?stream=stable#baremetal[download page].
	Encoding Ignition configuration
	For the `vmware` provider, Ignition requires two "guestinfo" fields to be present when the VM is first booted:
	`guestinfo.ignition.config.data.encoding`: the encoding of the Ignition configuration.
	`guestinfo.ignition.config.data`: the content of the Ignition configuration, encoded according to the format above.
	For maximum compatibility, it is recommended to use `base64` encoding and to prepare the Ignition configuration as such:
	CONFIG_ENCODING='base64' CONFIG_ENCODED=$(cat example.ign \| base64 -w0 -)
	An alternative to plain `base64` encoding is `gzip+base64` as described in the https://coreos.github.io/ignition/supported-platforms/[Ignition supported platforms]. This is especially useful when submitting the Ignition config via `govc` as an _inline_ argument. In that case the encoded config is limited to slightly under 128 KiB on Linux, 256 KiB on macOS, and 32 KiB on Windows (8 KiB if using `cmd.exe` or PowerShell). If your config is larger than that limit, you may be able to submit it inline after compressing it with `gzip`.
	CONFIG_ENCODING='gzip+base64' CONFIG_ENCODED=$(cat example.ign \| gzip -9 \| base64 -w0 -)
