1. A method to operate plugins in a virtualized computing environment, the method comprising:
installing the plugins at a plugin server, wherein the plugin server resides at a first computing device that is remote from a second computing device where a management server for the virtualized computing environment resides, and wherein the plugin server communicates with the management server via a reverse proxy of the management server;
loading, via a first port of the reverse proxy of the management server and into a user interface of a web client residing at a third computing device, elements of a core user interface from the management server;
loading, via a second port of the reverse proxy of the management server and into the user interface of the web client, a first plugin from the plugin server; and
isolating, at the third computing device, at least some elements of the loaded first plugin from the core user interface;
loading, via the second port of the reverse proxy of the management server and into the user interface of the web client, a second plugin from the plugin server; and
isolating, at the web client, the elements of the loaded first plugin from elements of the loaded second plugin, by using sandboxes,
wherein the loaded first plugin is executed at the third computing device outside of the management server and is prevented from executing at the management server.
