If you are in the same boat as I am - first of all, I am sorry. When creating purpose-built OS images for VMware cloud platform you should use a VMware hypervisor (either VMware Workstation or ESXi will do) which makes it easy to deliver optimized, feature-rich, ready for deployment images. For example, a couple of months ago, I worked with a customer on implementing a Horizon Cloud DaaS with hosted infrastructure.
Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution as you need to consider the target platform and in some cases, Hyper-V is not the right hypervisor for the job. It is not a question of if but when and when is now. Simply put: the future of image creation is now. Imagine for a moment: you fire up a PowerShell script and a few hours later you get your shiny images. All you need is a Hyper-V enabled system and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Over the years, Mikael Nystrom put together a PowerShell-based solution called Reference Image Factory, which allows you to realize that future of fully automated image creation today. The good news is moving to an automated image creation is a far simpler task than one might assume, inverting the time you spend taking care of your image and the amount of time you spend driving innovation.
