Overview

In this Milestone, we continue learning about implementing scripts in order to help manage an Enterprise Virtual Environment such as VMWare vCenter. We build upon our pre-existing Milestone 4 Pyvmomi Script by implementing additional VM specific management functions and menu option to more easily manage the vCenter virtual environment via the API.

Reflection:

• Overall I found it useful learning how to use an API (such as Pyvmomi) to interact/manage VMs within my vCenter environment as it can allow me to create scripts to scale up various operations for larger virtual environments.
• This milestone was much less intimidating than the previous milestone 4 deliverable as I was now more familiar working with Python and Pyvmomi.
• Similar to the previous milestone activity, I found it helpful being able to research and reference documentation as it can provide useful examples and insights on what is needed to implement certain functions (ex. vCenter MOB + Pyvmomi Community-Samples).
