+===== Archive content =====
+The file inside ''.tar.gz'' archive is QEMU QCOW Image (v2) format (qcow2). You can convert it to other formats for example with ''qemu-img'' command, part of ''qemu-utils'' package in Debian / Ubuntu systems and ''qemu-img'' RPM in RedHat / CentOS.
+For example, to convert it to VMDK, the command would be something like
+<code bash>
+qemu-img convert -p -O vmdk Anglova_node_v8_Ubuntu_16.04 Anglova_node_v8_Ubuntu_16.04.vmdk
+</code>
+Note that in some versions VMware may not accept file image. This can in many cases be fixed by creating a copy of image file with ''vmkfstools'' or similar tools.
