Ansible vmware module - create a template from a VM

[Tuyen Nguyen]

Hi

I am seeing a lot of information on how to deploy a VM from a template, however what I am looking for is how we can create a template from a VM?

My plan is to first bring up a VM from a base template, then I will have Ansible do some customization of the Windows OS on the VM, then I would like to create a new template from the VM so that I can deploy this image to multiple more machines.

Is it possible to use Ansible to control VMWare to create a template from a VM?

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Thanks, I know of this module, however it seems the module has functions to create a VM from a template only?  I would like to be able to create a template from a VM.  Is that possible?
