Description

Add a capability for license assignment to deployment assets, e.g vCenter server itself, hosts etc.

Use Case(s)

I'm trying to deploy vCenter plus some virtualized ESXi nodes as a testing environment, using Terraform. One of the obstacles I ran into is, while the provider allows creation of licenses within vCenter, I couldn't find a way to assign this license to assets such as vCenter server, ESXi hosts etc. As this is doable with powercli, I guess that it's doable with Terraform as well.

Potential Terraform Provider Configuration

` data "vsphere_license" "license" { license_key = "00000-00000-00000-00000-00000" }

data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" { name = "dc-01" }

data "vsphere_host" "host" { name = "esxi-01.example.com" datacenter_id = data.vsphere_datacenter.datacenter.id }

resource "vsphere_license_assignment" "esxi1_license" { license_id = data.vsphere_license.license.id license_asset = data.vsphere_host.host.id }

I would also like to see this feature added to the provider.

Since I can add hosts to the vcentre server using terraform, it would be nice to be able to assign a license to them at the same time.

Also being able to assign the vcentre license as part of terraform could be added along side?

Thanks.

@tadgy assigning a host license is supported from the host resource. for the VC license, I haven't found any way to apply the license.
