Nava Davuluri, a new hire into VMware's product marketing group, recently announced VMware's latest move within its community portal: a new piece of real estate called VMware Code Central.

Davuluri said the site "is intended for VMware community developers and system administrators who use VMware infrastructure and would like to have IT control through automation."

Some of the sample code already found on the community site includes the following:
