Molecule VMware is designed to allow use of VMware vSphere environment for provisioning test resources.
Please note that this driver is currently in its early stage of development.
Install molecule-vmware and pre-requisites:
pip install molecule-vmware ansible pyvmomi
Please also install pywinrm if you want to use Windows in test instance.
pip install pywinrm
Create a new role with molecule using the vmware driver:
molecule init role <role_name> -d vmware
Configure <role_name>/molecule/default/molecule.yml with required parameters based on your vSphere environment.
A simple config is:
