# Cluster API Provider Vmware Desktop (Workstation, Fusion)
## Description
The Cluster API Provider Vmware Desktop (CAVD) provides a way to declaratively create and manage cluster on Vmware Desktop with `vmrest`, in a Kubernetes-native way. It extends the Kubernetes API with Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) allowing you to interact with clusters in the same fashion you interact with workload.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Understanding Cluster API [Quick Start](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/quick-start)
- Vmware Desktop Hypervisor (Workstation or Fusion, tested only with Fusion)
- Prepared Virtual Machine by [image-builder](https://image-builder.sigs.k8s.io/capi/providers/vsphere) with `build-node-ova-local-` or [factory-talos](https://factory.talos.dev/) `Cloud/Vmware` (only amd64 supports by Talos)
- Running `vmrest` [Doc](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/desktop-hypervisors/fusion-pro/13-0/using-vmware-fusion/guide-and-help-using-the-vmware-fusion-rest-api/guide-and-help-use-the-fusion-api-service.html)
### Required env variables
```
# Example
VMREST_URL="http://host.docker.internal:8697/api" # http://localhost:8697/api vmrest url
VMREST_USERNAME="user"
VMREST_PASSWORD="password"
TEMPLATE_VM_ID="LIVK1CGKIC5J71SNTC711F7O9TR3BDDQ" # VM ID from vmrest/api/vms prepared with defined kubernetes version
