OVA and OVF

Difference

 An OVF (open virtualization Format) is a collection of items in a single folder. Most commonly this is a
description file (.ovf) a manifest file (.mf), and virtual machine state files (*.vhd and vhdx are the virtual disk
extensions for Hyper-V Virtual machines) or *.vmdk(Vmware Virtual machine’s Virtual Disk).
 If you have allowed anyone else to still be able to edit this VM then you will export it in OVF format
  
 An OVA (Open virtualization appliance) is a single file.
 The OVA is the OVF folder contents all zipped into a single file. The
 purpose of the OVA is when you want to take an OVF and share it, or give
 it as a download. The OVA needs to be opened into the OVF before it can
 be consumed.
