What is the correct way to provide a CentOS 7 - WMware image for ESX ?

I just want to be able to provide a pre-built image with CentOS 7 and my
other programs on a bootable VMware image that is easily imported into any
VMware platform - Workstation, ESX or other.
How is that accomplished ?
Thanks for your thoughts and experience.
While my experience with ESX is rather old at this point, as is my
experience with Workstation, since I have converted to KVM for my
virtualization here, I will just point out that the virtual hardware
supported by ESX(i) and Workstation are not the same. I don't know if
current vSphere/ESXi is different, but it's easy enough to check, but
older ESX only supported SCSI for the virtual hard disks; no IDE hard
disk support in ESX, and Workstation defaults to IDE hard disks. VMware
Workstation and ESXi are very different products, or at least the last
versions of each that I actively used were. So check which ESXi version
you're targeting, and make sure you install the guest in Workstation
with that hardware version and with ESXi-compatible devices.
And then there is VMware Fusion for macOS....
