By default ansilbe trying to connect via ssh with this credentials. To make it connect via https-api you need to add this lines to inventory file:
[all:vars]
ansible_connection=local
[servers]
localhost

[@srikanth4332]

Nice explanation, however it's better if you could show us the datacenter, ESXI, Network etc details from Vcenter - how it's shown there... thanks..

[@BertonLuca]

Great suggestion! I prefer to focus more on the Ansible side

[@ViktorZavadskyi]

Best play on 1.5 speed =)

Sir, In Vcenter for a VM how to edit settings using ansible??

[@honeymotiyani2854]

How did you create ansible controller?

[@elabeddhahbi3301]

i'm sorry to ask such a basic question but i'm still confused from the first video if inventory is pointing to localhost as hosts directive in the main yaml file did you ssh to the vcenter host and execute the playbook over there or the playbook is executed in the localhost and pointing to the esxi with hostname directive i still can't get my head around it

[@BertonLuca]

Hello, I understand, a lot of new concepts. In this example the ansible playbook execute against "localhost" and connect to VMware infrastructure/ESXi/vCenter via the `vcenter_hostname: "vmware.example.com"` variable. Have fun with Ansible ;-)

[@zayaankhan5198]

how the ansible will find the ISO images? is that defined some where, that ansible will ISO from that particular directory?

[@BertonLuca]

Have you already tried the find module? This is one example www.ansiblepilot.com/articles/find-all-files-with-extension-ansible-module-find/

[@CnJpCaUs]

why the inventory is "localhost" ? and I get an error msg "failed to connect to the host via ssh, permission denied"

[@BertonLuca]

Inventory is localhost because I would like to execute the Ansible code on my local machine. Please specify the "ansible_connection: local" parameter

[@user-kf4uq1jt9e]

@@BertonLuca now am I'm getting
[WARNING]: Skipping 'ansible_connection' as this is not a valid group definition
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
[WARNING]: Collection community.vmware does not support Ansible version 2.10.8
