Netzwerk- und Computersystemadministratoren Use this skill whenever the user needs to manage VMs in VMware/vSphere/ESXi — it's the entry point for all VM operations. Directly handles: power on/off, clone, snapshot, migrate, deploy from OVA or templates, run commands inside VMs, batch operations, cluster management, vCenter alarm acknowledgment, a one-glance cluster-health triage ("is anything on fire?"), and VM/host/datastore investigation drill-downs. Always use this skill for any "power on", "clone", "deploy", "migrate", "batch", "guest exec", "alarm", or VM lifecycle task, and for triage like "is anything on fire" / "what needs attention now" / "investigate this VM", when the context is explicitly VMware, vSphere, or ESXi. Do NOT use for general read-only queries (inventory/events/VM details — use vmware-monitor), NSX networking (use vmware-nsx), storage/iSCSI/vSAN (use vmware-storage), or Kubernetes cluster lifecycle (use vmware-vks). For multi-step workflows use vmware-pilot. For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.
