create_vm_from_cloud_init takes the same qcow2/raw cloud images netOrk offers for Proxmox. ESXi can neither boot nor download them, so the driver does both: download with checksum check and one retry, convert with qemu-img to a streamOptimized VMDK (cached by URL), import through a minimal OVF descriptor over NFC, pin requested MACs, grow the disk, and attach a NoCloud seed ISO placed next to the VM's files. NoCloud rather than guestinfo because it needs nothing in the guest; the user-data installs open-vm-tools, which the driver declares as its guest agent. A failure after the import removes the VM again. Placement is a pure decision over inventory rows: a connected host outside maintenance mode that sees the datastore and every port group, with the resource pool and VM folder found by walking up to the datacenter -- one path for a standalone host and for a vCenter. Two faults vcsim surfaced and the tests now pin: a chunked upload body next to a Content-Length is refused with 500, so the disk goes up as a sized file object that also reports lease progress; and a device edit replaces the device as sent, so disk and NIC edits start from the live objects, backing included (vcsim panicked on a disk without one). destroy_vm, get_vm_status, get_network_targets (port groups with their fixed VLAN) and get_image_storages complete the contract. reboot_host on ESXi uses RebootHost_Task and refuses outside maintenance mode: force=True would cut power to running VMs. Tested against vcsim in ESXi and vCenter mode, end to end.

## [Unreleased]
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- VM provisioning (`create_vm_from_cloud_init`, `destroy_vm`,
|
|
`get_vm_status`, `get_network_targets`, `get_image_storages`) from qcow2/raw
|
|
cloud images: converted with qemu-img, imported over OVF/NFC, configured
|
|
by cloud-init from a NoCloud seed ISO. Tested against vcsim.
|
|
- `reboot_host` on ESXi, refused outside maintenance mode.
|
|
- Declares `open-vm-tools` as the guest agent for provisioned VMs.
|
|
|
|
## [0.1.0] - 2026-09-24
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- `vmware_esxi` and `vmware_vcenter` drivers (`hypervisor` role) over the
|
|
vSphere API: facts, interfaces, LLDP/CDP, environment, VMs, VM config,
|
|
power actions, snapshots, datastores, port groups and raw device warnings.
|
|
- `tools/harvest.py` and `tools/sanitize.py` to capture fixtures from real
|
|
hosts.
|
|
|
|
### Pending
|
|
- Validation against real ESXi and vCenter installations; tested against
|
|
vcsim only.
