Who is this for and what problem do they have today?

Users (eg:Flink developer) want a quick way to deploy a Redpanda VM extension to what is available with Docker today.

What are the success criteria?

Ability to quickly spin a one node VM-based cluster.

Why is solving this problem impactful?

Quick deployment for developers who prefer VM over docker for their workflow.

Thanks @bpraseed

Who is this for and what problem do they have today?

I'm running a homelab with a Proxmox VM. Other (larger) businesses run VMWare ESXi / vSphere.

VMWare has a VMWare marketplace where "VM applications" can be installed with a single click. It's a fairly large installed base. Similarly, Proxmox makes it easy to run VMs and LXC containers but not docker. Same for Citrix XenServer folks.

In all cases, it would be very useful to have a single-purpose preconfigured VM that can just be deployed on the infra. (Maybe just a single node setup for a quickstart).

What are the success criteria?

Redpanda provides an OVA file (Open VM Archive) (typically this should work well with VMWare and Virtualbox) and a QCow image file (for Qemu and Proxmox) as part of VMWare vSphere and VMWare marketplace based installs (and non VMWare installs).

Why is solving this problem impactful?

Greater distribution for Redpanda in the SMB and low-scale on-prem infrastructure segment.

Thanks @bpraseed for tagging.
