Please fill out this extremely short poll, which takes at most 10 seconds :-)
Oooo I need to do this!
Are you looking to explore how to build VCF Operations Management Packs (MPs)? ๐
Hereโs an example: I use a Synology NAS in my lab and wanted to display the storage details alongside my VMware Hosts and VMs. The new dashboard gauges make the data look great โ and with VMware MP Builder, you can create a pack like this yourself. ๐ ๏ธ
Would you use a Synology or Storage MP in your Environment?

Have you come across any cool Claude Skill examples yet? If youโre a VMware Admin who uses RVTools, hereโs my first Claude Skill to demonstrate its functionality. Please watch ๐ the video to the end to see the report generated without any code. ๐
At the VMware Explore Hackathon 2025, my team created a MCP server to accomplish similar tasks, but it required a lot more code. Next, I plan to create a Claude Skill that directly connects to my VMware vCenter and allows me to input prompts. ๐
