Today I have upgraded my vCenter from 7.0.3 to 8.0.1 and tested some playbooks.

I found the playbooks worked fine even for 8.0.1 as well on my side. Here is the version information that I tested.

$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.14.6]
  config file = /Users/sugimura/github/ansible-my-vcenter/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/Users/sugimura/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /Users/sugimura/venv/XXXXXX/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /Users/sugimura/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /Users/sugimura/venv/XXXXXX/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.11.3 (main, Apr  7 2023, 20:13:31) [Clang 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)] (/Users/sugimura/venv/XXXXXX/bin/python3.11)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True
$ ansible-config dump --only-changed
CONFIG_FILE() = /Users/sugimura/github/ansible-my-vcenter/ansible.cfg
HOST_KEY_CHECKING(/Users/sugimura/github/ansible-my-vcenter/ansible.cfg) = False
$ ansible-galaxy collection list | grep vmware_rest
vmware.vmware_rest            2.3.1

For maintainers, could you please add information in the section of "vSphere compatibility" in the README.md file if you confirmed?

@goneri is there any news regarding vsphere 8 support?

As far as VMware API is backward compatible it will work just OK. We need to only provide information about the version of VMware API we generated the modules for.
If we will generate modules from 7.0.3 metadata, there will be generated only 7.0.3 features. If VMware add new feature to 8.0.1, those feautres won't be in the modules, until we re-genreate from 8.0.1 metadata.
