This repo hosts the community.vmware_rest Ansible Collection.
The collection includes the VMware modules and plugins supported by Ansible VMware community to help the management of VMware infrastructure. These modules are different from community.vmware since they are based upon VMware vSphere REST API interface and not relying on any third party libraries such as Pyvmomi and vSphere Automation SDK for Python.
This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: >=2.9.10.
Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions. A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions. PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.

Before using the VMware community collection, you need to install the collection with the ansible-galaxy CLI:
ansible-galaxy collection install community.vmware_rest
You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:
collections:
- name: community.vmware_restPlease note this collection depends on Python 3.6 or greater.
Please, don't open Pull Request against the vmware_rest repository. We use a project called vmware_rest_code_generate to generate these modules and your change would be lost.
virtualenv -p python3.7 .virtualenv/py37 # Or any other version greater than 3.6
source .virtualenv/py37/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
ansible-test network-integration --python 3.7 --inventory /tmp/inventory-vmware_rest vcenter_vm_scenario1
We have a dedicated Working Group for VMware.
You can find other people interested in this in #ansible-vmware on Freenode IRC.
