Here is the custom code developed as part of the engagement.

To use either the VMWare or Windows stuff, you'll want to place this at the root level of your Ansible project directory (be careful not to include the .git folder).

There are currently 2 modules, one more on the way:

1. vmware_clone_to_folder

2. vmware_nic

3. vmware_disk (WIP)

For documentation you can see the source code of each module under the DOCUMENTATION string or alternatively, from within this top level directory you can do:

ansible-doc -M ./library $MODULE_NAME

and it will give you a less like format for reading the documentation.

This code stack will work up through the release of Ansible 2.1 (target release of late April). Once 2.1 is released you'll want to use the native features for rebooting Windows.
