Create a content library and populate it with images that you can use to deploy virtual machines in your environment. Content libraries let you synchronize images among workload domain vCenter Server instances so that all images in your environment are consistent.
As you deploy additional workload domains, you can create subscriber content libraries from this publishing content library.
