ESXi Convergence
• The Console OS has been removed.
• The VMware agents run directly on the vmkernel.
• Infrastructure services are provided natively through modules included with the vmkernel.
• Only modules that have been digitally signed by VMware are allowed on the system, creating a tightly locked-down architecture.

• Allow for extensibility and cost reductions in customer environments
• Updating or rebuilding is as simple as rebooting the server
Controlled by:
• Image Profiles (vendor specific modules and drivers)
• Host Profiles (storage, network and security policy configurations)
• Answer Files (non-interactive install/boot)
• Runtime state (in vCenter)
