What is the Open Virtualization Format, and how does it facilitate the migration of virtual machines between hypervisors?

What will be an ideal response?


OVF is a standard created by industry-wide vendors in various areas of virtualization for the purpose of copying or moving virtual machines between different platforms. For example, you could install, configure, and test a Windows mail server on a workbench using Oracle VM VirtualBox. After developing your Windows mail server using VirtualBox, you can use the export function to create a set of OVF files. You next use vSphere's option to import OVF files to place the virtual machine on your vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi).
