Hi everyone,
using the community.vmware.vmware_guest module and the example from the docs I could successfully create a VM in vSphere.
I failed to find any hint on how to hand over cloud-init or ignition files to allow customization of the VM.
Is this just hidden somewhere I did not find it? Or is it simply not possible?
Kind Regards
Johannes
It looks like it should be possible: How to customize virtual machine using Cloud-init metadata and user data in vSphere 7.0 Update 3
But I don’t think this is implemented yet. I’m not 100%, though… might be possible somehow.
Hi Mario,
in general (from VMware side) it is possible, I can use ignition or cloud-init configuration (depending on the OS) in Terraform with “regular” templates or OVA templates.
It’s just that I found no hint on how to do that with Ansible…
Kind Regards,
Johannes
