How do I configure Ansible to run kickstart for RHEL VM's

I found this link which provides a lot of great information https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pysphere/iTNRGbtbans on what I’m trying to accomplish. The first problem I have is it looks like it wants the vCenter username and password to be in plain text. I was wondering if there is a way to get around that, make it more secure?

I am brand new to the Ansible world, I am sure I will have many other questions. I really do like the product, I hope to get better and use it more in my daily tasks.

Thanks in advance for any help or direction with my issue.

You can use variables for the username and password, then use Ansible vault to encrypt the file containing the variable definitions.
