[Feat] [Customer request ] Develop ansible script and module for password management for CVMs, AHV, PC

[varunbs]

Requirements:

• Customer has a request to Nutanix to maintain a ansible script and module for password management for CVMs/AHV and Prism Central

Currently we have documentation with CLIs to achieve this which becomes very tedious if customer needs to change them on multiple nodes/clusters.

• Password change documentation for AHV host KB-7068 - https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000PVVtCAO

https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=AHV-Admin-Guide-v6_1:ahv-password-change-ahv-nutanix-user-t.html NOTE: There are 3 users root, admin and nutanix user in AHV host

• Password change mechanism for Prism admin user in CVM and PC nutanix@CVM/PCVM: ncli user reset-password user-name=admin password=Escalation/4U

• Password change documentation for CVM nutanix and admin user

https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Advanced-Admin-AOS-v5_17:app-password-change-cvm-admin-user-t.html

Customer goal is to automate these password management tasks from Ansible tower. Customer request is to develop a module and a script maintained by Nutanix to update passwords. The module should have capabilities of integrating with password vault to fetch passwords and then set passwords on CVMs/AHV hosts and PCVMs
