slightly larger. If you find this to be the case, you can disable compaction
using this configuration value. Defaults to `false`.
- `skip_export` (boolean) - Defaults to `false`. When enabled, Packer will
not export the VM. Useful if the build output is not the resultant image,
but created inside the VM.
- `keep_registered` (boolean) - Set this to `true` if you would like to keep
the VM registered with the remote ESXi server. This is convenient if you
use packer to provision VMs on ESXi and don't want to use ovftool to
deploy the resulting artifact (VMX or OVA or whatever you used as `format`).
Defaults to `false`.
- `ovftool_options` (array of strings) - Extra options to pass to ovftool
during export. Each item in the array is a new argument. The options
`--noSSLVerify`, `--skipManifestCheck`, and `--targetType` are reserved,
and should not be passed to this argument.
- `format` (string) - Either "ovf", "ova" or "vmx", this specifies the output
format of the exported virtual machine. This defaults to "ovf".
Before using this option, you need to install `ovftool`.
- `tools_upload_flavor` (string) - The flavor of the VMware Tools ISO to
upload into the VM. Valid values are `darwin`, `linux`, and `windows`. By
default, this is empty, which means VMware tools won't be uploaded.
