Ansible VMware FAQ

vmware_guest
============
Can I deploy a virtual machine on a standalone ESXi server ?
------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. ``vmware_guest`` can deploy a virtual machine with required settings on a standalone ESXi server.
However, you must have a paid license to deploy virtual machines this way. If you are using the free version, the API is read-only.
Is ``/vm`` required for ``vmware_guest`` module ?
-------------------------------------------------
Prior to Ansible version 2.5, ``folder`` was an optional parameter with a default value of ``/vm``.
The folder parameter was used to discover information about virtual machines in the given infrastructure.
Starting with Ansible version 2.5, ``folder`` is still an optional parameter with no default value.
This parameter will be now used to identify a user's virtual machine, if multiple virtual machines or virtual
machine templates are found with same name. VMware does not restrict the system administrator from creating virtual
machines with same name.
