VMWare Support?

[flickerfly]

I see AWS, GCP and Azure are supported. Is there any interest in supporting VMWare also?

Hi @flickerfly, Thanks for opening an issue about this. We are thinking of adding VMWare support as well, but we currently don't have a timeline for that.

We heard some people asking for VMWare support mainly around VMware vSphere Provider.

Thanks

@omry-hay - this is an example of a basic VShpere tagging configuration https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/vsphere/latest/docs/resources/tag#using-tags-in-a-supported-resource

First, create a category, then create a tag and assign the category to it, and finally assign the tag to resources.

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/vsphere/latest/docs/resources/tag_category https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/vsphere/latest/docs/resources/tag

In general, we could try to add support for it (with the category adding a certain complexity to it).

A few questions:

1. Is it something you still want to support? (given 6 months have passed).
2. I'm assuming the focus should be on the official Hashicorp Vshpere provider. (just confirming).

Hi @TomerHeber

1. We would definatly would like to support it, in terms of priority please take it with @yaronya

Thanks

Hi @TomerHeber Any updates on this one?

[TomerHeber]

Hi @yaronya

I haven't started working on it. Weren't sure about priority. Just say the word and I'll start working on this.

[yaronya]

@TomerHeber this is indeed low priority atm, let's continue with other efforts and get back to it when we got some spare time 🤞

Closed as it seems ROI negative at the moment since there's not much demand for this feature
