Hello,
In VMWare, managing VM in vApp is very usefull. We can add some feature like order boot / shutdown.
I look in both community and vmware collection but nobody add feature for manage it :
I was wondering if someone can add support for :
i will add my feature request to git.
For the record: vApp : Add support
BTW there are also some issues with vApp in the title in the community.vmware collection.
Are vApps really used? I haven’t seen them in our environment yet. The most interesting thing there, at least to me, has been defining the boot order. Like starting the DB VM before the App VM. But since this won’t guarantee that the DB is really available before the App is up and running and wants to talk to it, I dismissed vApps as not being that helpful.
vApp arent so popular but in some case they are usefull.
You can configure VMWare tools to say VM is ready when bdd service is up and running for example.
In my case we are using for boot order and shutdown order but we manage to use it with powershell in ansible (i dont like this)
And vApp can force VM to stick together et do not use more ressources, like ressources pools. in some environement were VM and Esxi arent tight this is cool.
