vSphere VirtualMachine dotnet example

[rgl]

Can you please add an example on how to create a simple virtual machine using vSphere?

That would allow new users to quickly get the gist of how things work with pulumi/dotnet/vSphere.

The example should show how to create a simple VM:

• cloned from an existing VM template name
• inside an existing Datacenter/Cluster/ComputeResource given by name
• have a single network interface connected to the given network name

FWIW, I'm trying to make an equivalent of https://github.com/rgl/terraform-rke-vsphere-cloud-provider-example, but got stuck trying to get an existing network. For example, to get an existing Datacenter its a simple:

        var datacenterName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("VSPHERE_DATACENTER");

        var datacenter = Datacenter.Get(
            "datacenter",
            "/" + datacenterName
        );

But getting the network seems the be a whole different endeavor.

It seems a simple Network.Get does not exist. Instead, I only found https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-vsphere/blob/v4.0.1/sdk/dotnet/GetNetwork.cs#L33-L41 which made things way too confusing for me, especially when trying to use it in a VirtualMachineArgs. Hence, my plea for a simple example :-)

I think I almost got it by trying to replicate https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-vsphere/blob/master/examples/webserver/index.ts.

For some odd reason, in C#, it only worked when I use the datacenter Moid instead of its Id. Any idea why?

Can you please have a look at full example at https://github.com/rgl/dotnet-pulumi-rke-vsphere-cloud-provider-example (in particular the Stack.cs file)?
