vsphere_virtual_machine

Provides a VMware vSphere virtual machine resource. This can be used to create, modify, and delete virtual machines.

Example Usage

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "web" {
  name   = "terraform_web"
  vcpu   = 2
  memory = 4096

  network_interface {
    label = "VM Network"
  }

  disk {
    size = 1
    iops = 500
  }
}
