Hello All,

I would like to ask is there any ongoing process or in roadmap about vCloud Director Ansible Cloud Module [https://www.vmware.com/products/vcloud-director](https://www.vmware.com/products/vcloud-director)  
I find out something about vCloud Air and ESX/vCenter

Regards  
VM

I think developing a module without write a huge and complex python wrapper around the vCD XML based API is almost a non-starter. Once VMware gets [https://github.com/vmware/pyvcloud](https://github.com/vmware/pyvcloud) to a point where it’s actually useful, then I think you can talk about putting a vCD/vCloud Air module into Ansible

I asked pyvcloud to VMware and they said that its not supported officially , i dont know how ansible module development rules work but maybe creating something which is unsupported could be a problem
