Hello all!

In version 2.2, we released three new VMWare modules and we’d like some feedback.

  • vmware_guest
  • vmware_local_user_manager
  • vmware_vmotion

And just to mention, there are 18 other VMWare modules that could use some feedback love.

All of these modules are leveraging PyVmomi as the mechanism to communicate with a VMWare environment. Be sure to have it installed!

Hey all!

These modules have been out for some time now. So bumping this thread to get some feedback!

Hello,

I've been using vmware_guest and vmware_vmotion successfully PyVmomi
is a nice addition to Ansible.

My wish list includes storage vmotion and snapshot modules. Right now
I'm working around their absence with Powershell and PowerCLI for
Linux.

Personally, I’ve been using the vcenter module (link below) for over 2 years. I started using it simply because it always used PyVmomi and already had the functionality to create/delete vm snapshots.

It would be great if snapshot capability was built into the vmware_guest module or an additional vm_snapshot module was available.
