What to read next

Add a Software Depot
Add one or more software depots to the vSphere ESXi Image Builder inventory to customize image profiles.
Import a Software Depot
If an offline depot is located on your local file system, import the ZIP file to the vSphere ESXi Image Builder inventory.
Clone an Image Profile
Use the vSphere Client to clone image profiles.
Create an Image Profile
You can create a new image profile by using the vSphere Client instead of cloning an existing one.
Edit an Image Profile
You can edit image profiles by using the vSphere Client. You can change the name, details and VIB list of an image profile.
Compare Image Profiles
You can compare two image profiles by using the vSphere Client to check if they have the same VIB list, version, or acceptance level.
Move an Image Profile to a Different Software Depot
You can move image profiles between custom depots by using the vSphere Client and modify it without affecting the source depot's configuration.
Export an Image Profile to ISO or Offline Bundle ZIP
You can export an image profile to an ISO image or a ZIP file by using the vSphere Client.
Regenerate an Image Profile
If you use Auto Deploy to add stateful ESXi hosts to a cluster that you manage by using an image, all hosts must have the same software specification.
Preserve Image Profiles Across Sessions with PowerCLI
You can export the image profile to a ZIP file software depot and add that depot in the next session.
Compare VIBs with PowerCLI Cmdlets
You can compare two VIBs or their properties by using the PowerShell comparison operators.
