Creating a new VM, from scratch or from OVF/OVA (limited OVA support).VM operations (power on, off, reset, suspend, etc.).Here is a list of some of the supported operations in this first release:

In this first release, the Free ESXi Hypervisor is not supported, but the plan is to add support for this in a future update. The Fling currently only supports ESXi 6.0 (however, there is a workaround ESXi 5.x which you can find below). Today, I am very happy to announce the release of a new VMware Fling: HTML5 Embedded Host Client for ESXiwhich is currently distributed as a simple installable VIB.

UPDATE: (08/25/15) - v2 has just been released, be sure to take a look at this blog post for more details. Earlier this year, with the help of the ESXi PM and the Engineering team, they decided to take the concept of the prototype to the next level and really turn it into something that could really be used by customers. We socialized the prototype across many different teams at VMware and the overwhelming feedback was super positive. About a year ago, I was involved in a project with two VMware Engineers, Kevin Christopher and Jehad Affoneh, when we worked on an early prototype of an optimized Embedded Host Client for ESXi. I have always felt that having a simple web interface that customers can just point their browser to an ESX(i) host after an installation would be the most intuitive from a user experience standpoint. How many of you remember the old WebAccess interface that came with classic ESX 2.0? I know I sure do! It was a very useful interface that allowed administrators to easily manage their ESX hosts through a web browser that provided basic VM creation, troubleshooting and most importantly initial bootstrap configurations for greenfield deployments where a vCenter Server may not be available yet.
