Collection of Ansible roles to be used with a Nutanix AHV hypervisor :

• vm_create : creates a VM from a template.
• vm_snapshot : takes a snapshot of a VM
• vm_add_disks : adds disk(s) to an existing VM
• vm_snapshots_remove : removes all snapshots of a VM
• vm_update : updates specs of a VM
• vm_delete: deletes a VM
• image_upload : uploads an image.

All these roles use the Nutanix REST API (version 3 for VM creation/deletion and image upload, version 2 for the others).

---

They require :

• a Prisme Element or Prisme Central instance
• access to the TCP 9440 port of your Prism Element / Prism Central
• proper credentials.

---

REST API explorers are available for versions 2 and 3 :

• https://<prism_fqdn_or_ip>/api/nutanix/v2/api_explorer/index.html
• https://<prism_fqdn_or_ip>/api/nutanix/v3/api_explorer/

If you convert existing VM templates built on a VMWare hypervisor, make sure they include virtio drivers (and cloud-init, for OS customization).
