What is an OVF file?
An OVF is basically a text file that illustrates the packaging and distribution of software used on virtual machines. They are formatted using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) specification. One characteristic of OVF files is that they are optimized for distribution and are platform-neutral, which means that it can be accessed quickly and in any platform regardless of the software used. That makes it a convenient file to save descriptions about software run by virtual machines because it does not discriminate on the platform and does not require any special software to open and access the information therein. OVF files are also regarded as one of the safest options to save software information for distribution, which safeguards the development of virtual machines and virtualization in general. Apart from being used to store the data on the software used in virtual machines, OVF files also assist in optimizing the distribution of virtual machines.
