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.

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_rest

If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured COLLECTIONS_PATHS, and work on it there.
