VMware: vsphere_guest_deprecation - ansible/community GitHub Wiki
Deprecating vsphere_guest
The plan is to deprecate vsphere_guest (using pySphere) in-favour of vmware_guest (using pyvmomi). But currently the following functionality is missing in vmware_guest:
CD ROM support - #21112Modifying MAC address of existing interface ansible-modules-core#3615 - #32885Cores per socket - #33149Memory reservation - #33080Hot Add CPU and MemoryHot remove CPU - #33962Nested Virtualization configuration - #28149- Add additional disks into existing VM
- Floppy Support - #37318
- More than 15 disks - #33338
- Multiple datastores for disk specified - #33230
Please feel free to add features/bugs which are not available in vmware_guest as compared to vsphere_guest
Update
vsphere_guest is deprecated from Ansible 2.5 version.
We decided to - IRC meeting log

-vvvv
output. - Set low priority to existing and new issues of vsphere_guest and migrate to vmware_guest which is replacement of vsphere_guest.
