I’ve put together a basic ansible play that will create a user in the Lunavi vCloud geo us-mid-01. This post covers the basics of installing and authenticating to the API. It will create an idempotent user name ‘test’ with ‘Organizational Administrator’ privileges. This just covers the basics. I would highly recommend encrypting the passwords via the ansible-vault command.
