How it works...

In this recipe, we cover in entirety the following steps:

1. Upload an ESXi image profile to the VUM server.
2. Create a baseline from the uploaded image.
3. Attach the baseline to a target host.
4. Scan the host against the baseline for compliance.
5. Remediate (upgrade/patch) the host that was non-compliant;

These steps form the crux of VUM capability and workflow with slight variations when performed against different objects and different download sources.
