<p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.vmware.com/products/esxi-and-esx.html">VMware ESXi</a> is a type 1 bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on top

of server hardware. With VMware ESXi, you can create, configure, manage, and
|
||
run Clear Linux OS virtual machines in the cloud.</p>
|
||
<p>Manually installing Clear Linux OS on a new VM gives additional configuration flexibility
|

during installation. For example: alternate disk sizes, number of partitions,

pre-installed bundles, etc.</p>
