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

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..

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

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

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

[CnJpCaUs]
