The Vagrant VMware Utility is a background service that acts as a privileged bridge between the Vagrant VMware plugin and VMware desktop hypervisors. It enables Vagrant to control and automate virtual machines on VMware Fusion and Workstation without requiring direct administrative access. This utility is essential for unlocking advanced provider capabilities and streamlining developer workflows.

  • Background service architecture
Use Cases:
