New VMWare Modules in v2.2

[Dylan Silva]

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!

The intention for vmware_guest is to deprecate out vsphere_guest.  Before that happens, we wanted to get battlefield testing on them first!  We plan on deprecating out vsphere_* modules in the 2.3 release.

The other two modules should be self explanatory, and are new to the VMWare options that already existed. 

Please let us know of anything that may arise, via issues in Github.  If you'd like to contribute to any of the existing vmware_* modules, or would like to add others; pull requests are welcomed!

We intend to send out a survey in a couple of weeks to gather some stats on usage of these as well.  Keep an eye out for that as well.

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.
