GitHub is the world’s largest platform for open-source collaboration. Developers share code, automation scripts, and tools. It’s no surprise that users search GitHub for:
The motivation is simple: VMware ESXi is powerful, but its paid editions (vSphere Standard, Enterprise Plus, etc.) can be expensive for individual or non-commercial use.
