To deploy virtual machines in the vSphere IaaS control plane environment, DevOps users must have access to VM images, or templates, that contain software configurations, including operating systems, applications, and data. To provide access to images, a vSphere administrator configures a VM content library, and then associates it with the namespace where the VMs are deployed. Starting with vSphere 8.0 Update 2, the vSphere administrator can also assign the content library at a Supervisor level, so that it becomes available to all namespaces.
