Yes, you can target VMDK, AMIs, Azure, ...

`nixos-rebuild build-image --image-variant vmware`

See https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-image-nixos-rebui...

I don't know the answer using the built-in VM attributes (I mean I'd guess probably, but I don't know how if so) but there's always nixos-generators for making VM images. Definitely used this for deploying VMs to cloud providers, haven't tried the VMWare one yet though.
