When creating a Platform layer, the software installers for your hypervisor must be available in a location that’s accessible to the packaging machine where you are creating the layer. If you are publishing to a provisioning service or using a connection broker, the tools for those services must also be accessible from the packaging machine.

    • A Nutanix Prism account (new or existing) to use for App Layering.
    • The account must have privileges to perform the following operations:
