> I want to use ansible configuring ip address,hostname,gw and dns server on the newly created vms. How can I do this? I’m testing vmware\_guest module but actually I don’t need to clone a new vm because I already have them ready. I just need to customize them. Do you have any idea? Is vmware\_vm\_shell the only solution?
