Rule number one, check the documentation
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/vmware_host_module.html

I checked the document before posting. actuallly validate_certs parameter is no longer supported.

Thanks,

What brought you to that conclusion?

I don't see that indicated anywhere on that docs page.  Using validate_certs is supported by the module.
